Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines two tropical lakes (known as Upper Lake and Lower Lake) situated in the western side of the capital city of Bhopal, of Madhya Pradesh. The study assesses the two lakes’ ecological health and trophic status, based on water chemistry and insect fauna, as aquatic insects are highly significant indicators of water quality. A total of 44 insect species were recorded from both lakes within this study. Among all the insect fauna, species belonging to orders Odonata and Hemiptera were recorded as the most dominant in both lakes. Physicochemical and biological results for both lakes show high trophic conditions on account of anthropogenic pressure. The water chemistry of Bhopal Lower Lake reveals a degrading condition in comparison to Upper Lake, which has a relatively stable condition.

印度中央邦博帕尔两个热带湖泊的生态健康评价

摘要本研究考察了位于中央邦首府博帕尔西侧的两个热带湖泊（上湖和下湖）。该研究根据水化学和昆虫区系评估了两湖的生态健康和营养状况，因为水生昆虫是水质的重要指标。在这项研究中，共记录了来自两个湖泊的44种昆虫。在所有昆虫区系中，属于Ododata目和半翅目的物种在两个湖泊中都是最具优势的。由于人为压力，两个湖泊的物理化学和生物学结果都显示出高营养条件。与条件相对稳定的上湖相比，博帕尔下湖的水化学表现出退化状态。
