Excellent- More about Pond Ecosystems of the Indian Sundarbans: An Overview
The book provides a holistic overview of the pond ecosystem of the Indian Sundarbans, addressing climate change, salinity, and hydrological disturbances. It highlights the importance of pond ecosystems for achieving SDG 6, 13, and 14 and offers insights for researchers, environmental managers, and professionals.

The Indian Sundarbans, a unique and fragile ecosystem, faces numerous challenges due to climate change. Rising sea levels are causing the disappearance of islands, while increasing salinity in water and soil poses a severe threat to the health of mangrove forests and the quality of fresh water, soil, and crops. Additionally, significant disturbances to hydrological parameters in both lotic and lentic ecosystems have been observed.
To address these challenges, this book provides valuable insights into lentic ecosystem-oriented research in the deltaic ecosystem of the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM-I), the Indian Delta. It brings together the major findings from various research works and outlines the gaps and potential future directions for research in this area.
The book specifically focuses on the pond ecosystem of the Indian Sundarbans, which is crucial for the region's biodiversity and ecosystem services. It addresses Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), 13 (Climate Action), and 14 (Life below Water), with a particular emphasis on the role of ponds in providing these services.
Despite the existence of numerous studies on riverine water, groundwater, and mangrove ecosystems of the Indian Sundarbans, this book offers a fresh perspective on the pond ecosystem. Its outcomes have the potential to benefit researchers from the inland fisheries sector, environmental managers, professionals, and individuals seeking sustainable solutions for pond ecosystems.
By understanding the complexities of the pond ecosystem and its relationship with other ecosystems, this book contributes to the conservation and management of the Indian Sundarbans, ensuring its long-term sustainability and the well-being of its inhabitants.
