  • Abstract:
  • This research, which is one of the few here on reservoir biodiversity to come from this area, was designed to get some understanding of the ecology of the artificial reservoir at Panner, which is located in Tral Kashmir. The problem of inadequate water supply in the region prompted the construction of this reservoir between the years 1969 and 1970. At five different locations across the reservoir, we collected water samples in order to conduct chemical tests and plankton research. It was found that the Water Quality Index (WQI) of the reservoir is within the good quality class (50), with all locations having WQI ranging from 27.88 to 29.91 and fulfilling WHO requirements for drinking purposes. This was one of the observations that was made. Using Arc GIS, a bathymetric map was created after the depth of the reservoir was measured at a number of different places. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA), which described the positive correlation of pH, temperature, nitrate, and calcium content with planktonic density, was used to define the connection between ecological factors and plankton density on a hydrobiological level. This was accomplished by determining the influence of environmental parameters and plankton density.
