Anyigba, a university town was chosen for this study. A total of eight samples (4 each of burukutu and kunu) were collected. The samples were collected randomly from different vendors or sellers at different locations and the samples were analyzed according to the procedure of AOAC. Results revealed that the concentration of Fe was the highest of all the metals determined. The difference in mean concentration of Fe in burukutu and in kunu is statistically significant (p>0.05). Average concentration of Na, Mg, K and Ca in burukutu was 1.30±0.00, 5.8±2.2, 0.52±0.00 and 5.3±2.6 (mg/kg) respectively. Corresponding values of Na, Mg, K and Ca in kunu are 0.31±0.00, 5.3±2.6, 0.02±0.00 and 3.0±2.2 (mg/kg) respectively. The order of concentration of metals in burukutu was Fe>Mg>Ca>Zn>Na>Cu>K. The corresponding trend in kunu was Mg>Fe>Zn>Na>Cu>K. Lead and cadmium were not detected in this study. The mean value of heavy metals in seasoning and spices in this study was also compared with mean values from previous work and regulatory standard limits. The proximate composition of burkutu and kunu analysis shows that the pH was slightly acidic and both contained good percentage carbohydrate content. Burukutu and kunu are nutritious, body building and energy beverages. Current quality does not pose threat to human health.<#LINE#>Bender D.A and Bender A.E.

The presence of Arsenic (As) in tap drinking water is a somber threat to human health due to its carcinogenic nature. The quantity of Arsenic in tap water was detected by using inductively coupled plasma. 20 samples of tap water were collected for determination of arsenic contamination. Arsenic concentration in 16 samples was found beyond permissible limits i.e. 10 ppb as recommended by WHO. It is of worth importance that 80%; a large number of tap water samples collected from various areas of Lahore are contaminated with Arsenic which is toxic metal. Hence, it is direly needed to adapt alleviation and preventive measures for reducing the probability of health hazardous issues related to arsenic contamination.<#LINE#>Arora M., Kiran B., Rani S., Rani A., Kaur B. and Mittal N.

Extreme hydro-climatic events and its consequent shifts in seasonality lead to water scarcity in dry zone aquatic resources such as Vavuniya reservoir, threatening fish species richness and abundance. Weekly filed surveys were made to collect biological, ecological and hydro-climatic data from January, 2013 to July, 2014. Fish species composition and abundance in the catch were estimated by using random sampling at the landing site. Clarias brachysoma, Esomus thermoicos and Labeo lankae were the endemic freshwater fish species identified along with 16 indigenous and 8 exotic species. A significantly higher abundance of indigenous species was found in July and August 2013. During these periods, higher rainfall was observed but water level receded to medium level. Peak abundance of Channa striata (July & August 2013 and March & July 2014), Puntius dorsalis (August 2013 and July 2014) and P. sarana (August, 2013) were observed during these periods. Higher catches of Labeo dussumieri was observed in October - December 2013 and June 2014. Mystus keletius and Heteropneustes fossilis showed higher abundance during July - November 2013. However, M. keletius catch was higher in March and June and H. fossilis, in January, 2014. Glossogobius giuris showed a higher abundance during August 2013 and January 2014. Higher abundance was observed with the onset of rainfall and with lower water level. Fish species composition and abundance were significantly different (p=.02) for each month of the year 2013 and 2014 with respect to monthly total rainfall and monthly mean water level. Hence, the seasonal changes in the hydro-climatic factors play a significant role in fish species composition and abundance in tropical reservoirs.<#LINE#>Goonatilake S. de A.

Hydrobiology deals with the details of various forms of aquatic life such as algae Phytoplankton, zooplanktons, fishes and other groups of living organisms. Water resource is an essential ingredient for human survival. The availability of safe drinking water is important for proper growth of human being. The consumption and utilization of water resources raise some environmental issues. The major one is how far the quality of water used for domestic purpose is safe. Secondly, how the country\'s water resources will meet the demand of rapidly growing population. The first issue is a major environmental problem causing serious human suffering, as maximum percentage of water used for drinking and domestic purpose is unsafe for human consumption. The study of surface and ground water of the Indore city is integral to the present research, a comprehensive review of research works on such components in different parts of the world was essential.<#LINE#>Krishnan J.
