Abstract
Water being the primary requisite to support aquatic life, its physico-chemical properties are responsible for aquatic production and productivity. However, very little has been done to unravel the ecology of open water in northeastern India. Seasonal variations in physico-chemical characters of different water systems have been studied by a numbers of workers ( Laal et al., 1986, Jhingran and Pathak, 1988, Verma and Dutta Munshi, 1989 , Banerjee, et al., 1998, Singh, 1999, Pathak et al., 2000, 2001, Nath, 2001). Gurumayum et al. (2000, 2001), Laishram and Dhamendra, (2009) and Laishram et al. (2007) but very few studies have so far been conducted in the rivers of Manipur. For sustainable management of the riverine resources of the State, an attempt has been made to study various ecological parameters of three rivers of Manipur, viz. Khuga, Thoubal and Imphal.References
