Hydrobiology Chemo-geo-diversity In Godavari Organochlorine pesticidesAbstract
The variety of life on Earth is known as biodiversity, and it comprises all species and populations of organisms. Hydrobiology and the presence of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in the Godavari River Luxettipet, Mancherial dist., Telangana state, are the subjects of this study. The five main OCPs that were monitored in the samples were DDT, Aldrin Group, and hexa-chlorocyclohexanes (HCHs). The hydro chemical characterization assesses the water quality for use in irrigation. The results examine Total Dissolve Solids (TDS) in the water range from 115 to 676 mg/L, and the pH of the water the pH of the water with on average. The levels of anions and cations were as follows: HCO3>SO42->Cl->CO32- anions and Ca2+>Na+>Mg2+>K+ cations in mg/L. The highest hydrochemicals were found as bicarbonates of the Ca–HCO3 kind. In contrast to above and downstream of the mainline, the characterisation was distinct. Analysis reveals variances at various locations and times of year, which have an impact on aquatic flora and fauna's habitat, growth, reproduction, and migration. At. Godavari river, in Luxettipet i, Telangana state, the water quality is ideal for irrigation and swimming during a specific season. Threats to the river, Luxettipet, fauna include changes in pollution, invasive species, habitat loss, degradation, hydrological fluctuations, chemo-geo diversity, and nutrient enrichment, degradation, droughts, and more.
