Abstract
A preliminary assessment of water quality of 3 selected sites of
Jalisara beel and Bomani beel was carried out using aquatic insect community
during March, 2023 to May, 2023. Aquatic insects were collected from the sites
in replicates by ‘Kick’ method. The study revealed presence of 23 species of
aquatic insects belonging to 16 families and 5 orders. Physico-chemical
parameters of water were analyzed by standard methods. Spearman’s correlation
coefficient was applied to assess any significant variation in water quality
parameters between the two selected wetlands. The Stream Invertebrate Grade
Number – Average Level (SIGNAL 2) score, the Biological Monitoring Working
Party (BMWPTHAI) score and the Average Score Per Taxon (ASPTTHAI)
of the selected wetlands revealed severe, moderate and doubtful to probable
moderate pollution, respectively. The findings of the study highlight the
important role of aquatic insects as bioindicators in the two chosen wetlands
of the Dimoria tribal region.
