This book highlights the anthropogenic pressures on the fresh water bodies and in particular, the Dal and Anchar Lake. As a result of climate change and global warming there is a likelihood that the glaciers which feed these water bodies may be lost. The lakes discussed in this volume can prove a vital source of information on water and biodiversity as well as the environmental features. The detailed examination of phytoplankton and zooplankton in this volume will prove a key factor for future studies in the field of biology and ecology. An in-depth analysis on the physical-chemical properties of the lakes' water is also presented.
