Dahisar river originates from the Tulsi Lake in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park and meets to Arabian Sea with the length of 12 km is coming under anthropogenic inputs. This river is flowing through two different stages one without any human influence which is flowing in SGNP and as it comes out of SGNP human interference starts and getting badly affects its water, soil quality as well as meiofaunal biodiversity. Significant variations in physicochemical properties of water are noticed in samples from different locations and their effect on meiofaunal biodiversity is noticed from the results. In Dahisar River, Meiofauna plays an important role in ecosystem as it is source of food for various other organisms which are present in river. Meiofaunal biodiversity of an ecosystem acts as an indicator in that particular area. These studies reveal that the occurrence and distribution of meiofauna in Dahisar river from Borivali station, Dahisar Bridge, SGNP and Manori creek is uneven and has been influenced by anthropogenic activities. In SGNP, variety of meiofauna is seen were Tardigrade, Nematode and Rotifers indicates the fair quality of water, while Dahisar bridge and Borivali station which were under human interference shown very less occurrence of meiofaunal biodiversity. Garbage discharge is significantly high in path of river near Borivali station and Dahisar Bridge followed by Manori Creek deteriorating the quality of river ecosystem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
