Assessment Of Anthropogenic Impacts In Gulla River Using Macro Invertebrates And Physicochemical Parameters

Gulla River is one of the rivers impacted by anthropogenic activities. The most important factors affecting the river were land use modification, small scale irrigation system, town runoff, dumping of household wastes and organic debris. Data were gathered two times in December and May to observe the seasonal effects on macro invertebrates. Three sampling sites were selected to gather data through habitat, physicochemical and biological assessments. The habitat scores showed differences between the impacted and reference sites. The scores 52.92 and 51.25 put site-3 and site-2 into very poor category while the score 72.5 puts the reference site into good. There were significant differences (p
