A Ramsar Site is a wetland site, designated to be of international importance. These wetlands are protected under strict guidelines of the Ramsar Convention on wetlands. It provides national action and international cooperation regarding the conservation of wetlands, and wise sustainable use of their resources. The mission of the Ramsar Convention is “Conservation and wise use of all wetlands through local and national actions and international cooperation, as a contribution towards achieving sustainable development throughout the world”. The Ramsar Convention, signed in 1971 in Ramsar, Iran, is the only global treaty that focuses specifically on wetlands. The Ramsar Convention is an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands, recognizing the fundamental ecological functions of wetlands and their economic, cultural, scientific, and recreational value. Today 170 nations are signatories to the Ramsar Convention. Ramsar identifies wetlands of international importance, especially those providing waterfowl habitat. Ramsar Sites in India are declared under the Ramsar Convention, which was established by UNESCO in 1971. A site is declared as a Ramsar Wetland Site in India, if it meets any one of the nine criteria set under the Convention of Wetland. India's tally of 49 designated wetlands spread over 10,936 sq km in 18 states and two Union Territories is the largest network of Ramsar Sites in South Asia. Till 2022, the number stood at 37, then 12 sites were added to the list including Thol Lake Bird Sanctuary and Wadhwana Bird Sanctuary in Gujarat. The book Conservation of Thol Lake Bird Sanctuary (Ramsar Site) and Bhaskarpura Wetland focuses on environmental, ecological, and biological studies of two major wetlands of Gujarat viz. Thol Lake Bird Sanctuary and Bhaskarpura Wetland, covering abiotic and biotic components, eutrophication, hydrochemistry, geochemistry, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and waterbirds. The book highlights an in-depth study of surface water and bottom sediment quality, diversity, density, abundance, commonness, rarity of plankton including qualitative and quantitative characters, diversity indices, population dynamics of waterbirds, and correlation between abiotic and biotic components. The book would unquestionably be the need of an hour for wetland managers, wetland conservationists, and policy makers or decision authorities to prevent the unrestrained exploitation of wetland biodiversity, destruction of potential wetland habitats, and uncontrolled interactions of man and technology with lentic ecosystems of the world.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2015 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This study explains that Majalgaon Reservoir is in rich biodiversity of zooplankton, fishes and need to conservation in the future. The investigation generated some important baseline data on the pollution status Zooplankton and fish community structure of the reservoir. These data would be helpful in planning for future policy decisions on using the reservoir for the better conservation and management of the precious wildlife in the world-famous sanctuary. Analysis and interpretation of the data on diversity of biota and water quality parameters provided the necessary information to assess the impact of local people, researcher, and scientist related activities on the limnology of the reservoir. In any aquatic ecosystem limnological characteristic can affect both fauna and flora. Biodiversity contributes both directly and indirectly to human such as food for good health, security, social relationship, life and freedom for choice etc. In last decade people interfere with ecosystem and over exploitation of natural resources its result that biodiversity decreases. But the losses in biodiversity and change in ecosystem service have adversely affected the well-being. The present study is relevant to limnological study, biodiversity of zooplankton and fishes (species) in Majalgaon Reservoir. Recommendations Made by the author: 1. Conservation and ecofriendly utilization of biotic potential like fishery. 2. Creation of awareness in the mind of people related to the water body about importance and survival of the water body through seminars, field study visiting etc. 3. The Majalgaon reservoir is highly potential and can yield substantial quantity of fish production of advanced scientific fish culture technology is implemented and by avoiding excessive fishing throughout the year. 4. To establish fish breeding center, which will helpful for fish culture and its production it will also helpful to solve the same unemployment. 5. To establish ornithological center. 6. It is also recommended that the Majalgaon water reservoir is not only the source of water for population but it is important source of fishery and it is an important aquatic ecosystem. 7. Hence, the combined intensive effect of hydrobiologists, taxonomists, biotechnologists can be helpful for the survival and effective utilization of precious water body.

Limnology is the study of aquatic ecosystems. The quality of water is extremely variable in physical, chemical and biological characteristics.This book is describes about 02 water bodies of Bhalki and Bidar, India in special reference to inter relationship of physico-chemical and biological factors. Which include collection of data pertaining to meteorological conditions like temperature, rainfall and humidity; methodology, data preparation and interpretation with statistical tools of physico-chemical status of water, Primary production and phytoplankton composition such as pH, alkalinity, hardness, calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulphate, nitrite, phosphorous, silicon, organic content, dissolved oxygen, free carbon dioxide, biological oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand, primary productivity of water bodies consists of grass primary productivity, net primary productivity and community respiration and periodicity and abundance of phytoplankton. Book consist 166 identified algal species photographs of studied water body. It also reveals about polluting sources, ecology of the water body and management.

Limnology is conventionally divided into two groups-lentic, standing or still water habits and lotic or running water habitats. The lotic follows a gradient from springs to mountain brooks to streams to rivers. The lentic involves a gradient from lakes to ponds to bogs, swamps and marshes. F.A. Forel (1841-1912), professor in the University of Lausanne, Switzerland recognized the real biological opportunity in the lake investigations and by his work become the founder of modern Limnology. Chumly (1910) listed 116 limnological papers published by Forel during the period 1868-1909 which occupy a significant place in the history of limnology. Forel's investigations focused on the lake Geneva. Now-a-day Limnology is defined as study of biological productivity of inland waters such as stagnant water bodies like lakes, ponds, pools, puddles, reservoirs, tanks etc and flowing waters such as rivers, tributaries, brooks, creeks, canals etc. It is a multifarious subject embracing such diverse fields on Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Zoology, Botany etc. Considering the plethora of problems, Department of Zoology, Yogeshwari Mahavidyalaya, Ambajogai in collaboration with Indian Association of Aquatic Biologists, Hyderabad organized a National Conference on Current Perspectives in Limnology, during 25th-26th December, 2009, at Ambajogai (Maharashtra).The conference had attracted participants from many parts of the country and also from abroad. This volume is based on the proceedings of the conference.It is hoped that the contents of this volume would provide a new orientation and impetus to freshwater fisheries development in India and offer better inputs for scientific management and utilization of the resources on a long term sustainable basis, contributing to food security, economic viability of operations, ecological and environmental safety. The present book is compendium of recent original research in the field of limnology. It is an assemblage of up-to-date information of rapid advances and developments taking place in the field of limnolgy. The book is a unique compilation of 40 chapters which discusses exhaustive studies on planktonology, physico-chemical environment, fisheries, toxicology, physiology etc. With its application oriented and interdisciplinary approach, the book would be immensely useful to students, teachers, researchers, scientists, policymakers, environmental lawyers and others interested in limnology
