Mining and its allied activities may affect the standards of surface water in the adjoining areas. Present investigation has been carried out in opencast mining and non-mining affected areas of Kolayat district Bikaner western Rajasthan for heavy metal evaluation in surface sources of water. During monsoon season sixteen samples of surface water sources of study area were collected by standard methods and evaluated for Iron, Manganese, Copper and Zinc by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer method and Sodium and Potassium by Flame photometer. The analyzed results were interpreted and compared with BIS of drinking water. Analysis of results and data interpretation reveals that the heavy metal assemblage in surface water sources of study area are below the recommended limit of drinking but mining affected areas have higher concentration than non-mining areas. Hence it is   suggested that the mining and related activities in study area should be properly planned and not to disturb the natural drainage system of local talav, nadi, johad, sarovar etc. So that the water of surface bodies could maintain its quality for drinking purpose of local peoples. It is our duty to preserve and protect to natural resources of water for better future of coming generations and for humanity.<#LINE#>Yadav, J., Pathak, R.K. and Khan, E., (2013).@Analysis of Water Quality using Physico-Chemical Parameters, Satak Reservoir in Khargone District, MP, India.@Int.

It has been a concern for environment. In this study, ambient air quality was monitored through field and laboratory analyses by using nine different parameters at different locations of Kathmandu valley. The particulate matters, PM10 ranged between 127 and 1193µg/m3 and PM2.5 ranged between 23 and 105µg/m3. The total suspended particles (TSP) at different location ranged between 240 and 1390µg/m3. These analytical values were higher than National Ambient Air Quality Standard values in Kathmandu. Gaseous pollutants like, SO2, NO2, benzene, lead, and ozone were mostly within acceptable levels. These particulate matters value could be lower with the completion of road widening projects and proper traffic management in valley. The stable city is recommended to continue the air monitoring system and bring suitable environment along with developmental activities.<#LINE#>NHRC (2016).@Situation analysis of ambient air pollution and respiratory health effects in Kathmandu Valley2015.@National Health Research Council, Kathmandu, Nepal@No$ICIMOD (2012).@Rapid urban assessment of air quality for Kathmandu, Nepal.@International center for integrated mountain development.@Yes$CBS (2011).@Population Census 2011 of Nepal: National report, Central bureau of statistics, Kathmandu, Nepal.@@Yes$CBS (2013).@Environment Statistics of Nepal.@Central Bureau of Statistics, Kathmandu, Nepal.@Yes$Aryal, R.K., Lee, B.K., Karki, R., Gurung, A., Kandasamy, J., Pathak, B.K., Sharma, S. and Giri, N.

The domestic liquid sewage was utilized as a test to contemplate the different variety of the microorganisms present in it. Morphology, growth and pigmentation attributes of the various microorganisms were studied with the assistance of biochemical tests. A screen for antibiosis identified an atypical pale blue-purple producing bacteria, designated as JS-1 and related to Janthinobacterium lividum. Different types of culture media (NA, TYEG, TSA, and LB) were used to isolate and grow the bacteria of interest, JS-1 and it is a gram negativebacilliform capnophillic bacteria. According to the findings, strainJS-1 should indeed be classified as a new strain of Janthinobacterium.<#LINE#>Adebayo, F., & Obiekezie, S.

Acquiring Global Solar Radiation (GSR) data is not always easy owing to many militating factors such as insufficient funding, lack of skilled personnel and poor maintenance culture. Ground-measured GSR is one of the possible ways of obtaining GSR data, but satellite-measured GSR data is the most available source for any location of interest. The research therefore is aimed at establishing a mathematical model that will predict the ground measured GSR from the available satellite measured GSR using regression analysis. From results, the two data sources showed good agreement with a regression plot of 80%. The performance of the model was tested using statistical metrics. MAE of 0.4004, MBE of 0.0217 and a MSE of 0.2522 were recorded. Hence, the developed model can be adopted for regions that have similar climatic condition as the study area to predict the desired solar insolation from the available solar insolation.<#LINE#>Hermann, S.

According to this analysis, ecological integrity is schematised according to three main inseparable categories, namely chemical, physical and biological integrity, which define the general quality of an aquatic environment. Disturbance of the environment modifies each facies of this ecological integrity, which affects the structural and functional organisation of the organisms that reside there. The immediate response of populations to this environmental change evokes bioindication concept of aquatic ecosystems. Abiological response that justifies the use of bioindicators, including macroinvertebrates which are the most used.Effective monitoring of the ecological integrity of rivers involves the use of bioindicators that can reveal their ecological quality. Bioindicators are valuable tools that should be considered in aquatic ecosystem monitoring programs and environmental policies.<#LINE#>Strayer, D.L. andDudgeon, D.

Constant exchange of energy and matter is taking place in between the living as well as non living substances which is termed as biogeochemical cycle and this cycle is played the pivotal role in restoring earth’s entire ecosystem. Ecorestoration is a natural phenomenon but now-a-days it is greatly disturbed by different anthropogenic activities. Human beings, the so called most intelligent creature on earth, have engineered their surroundings in such a way that this blue planet has turned into a ruined one. The greedy and unplanned human activities are constantly increasing the pollution load of air, water and soil which in turn increases the Environmental Pollution Index (EPI) of our surroundings. As a result this planet is posing great threat to the very existence of entire biosphere. Considering these facts this paper tries to explore the various man made causes of ecosystem degradation followed by its fatal consequences and also attempts to find out some probable solutions to these issues. The methodology of this paper is purely literature based. Secondary data were collected from reputed national and international journals, newsletters, survey reports etc., to prepare this paper. Apart from that authors own perception and views are also expressed in this paper. The present paper exposed that the harmful human activities are deteriorating the global ecosphere at an alarming rate. Therefore instant and productive steps such as conduction of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) along with adoption of green technologies must be taken to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) as well as to save this globe.<#LINE#>IPCC’s Report (2021).@IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) on Climate Change.@(2021). https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2021/08/IPCC_WGI-AR6-Press-Release_en.pdf.@No$Dutta, K., & Ghosh, A.
