Abstract

Benthic Fauna  of river  Ganga  in  relation  to  physico-chemical  characteristics  of  water  has  been  investigated. A total of 10 groups of  benthic  fauna  were  collected.  Ephemeroptera  was  found  as  dominant  during  the course of study. Benthos  were  found  maximum  in  winter  months.  The  physico-chemical  characteristics  of river Ganga were found almost in limits.
