Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines two tropical lakes (known as Upper Lake and Lower Lake) situated in the western side of the capital city of Bhopal, of Madhya Pradesh. The study assesses the two lakes’ ecological health and trophic status, based on water chemistry and insect fauna, as aquatic insects are highly significant indicators of water quality. A total of 44 insect species were recorded from both lakes within this study. Among all the insect fauna, species belonging to orders Odonata and Hemiptera were recorded as the most dominant in both lakes. Physicochemical and biological results for both lakes show high trophic conditions on account of anthropogenic pressure. The water chemistry of Bhopal Lower Lake reveals a degrading condition in comparison to Upper Lake, which has a relatively stable condition.

期刊介绍：
The aim of Biodiversity is to raise an appreciation and deeper understanding of species, ecosystems and the interconnectedness of the living world and thereby avoid the mismanagement, misuse and destruction of biodiversity. The Journal publishes original research papers, review articles, news items, opinion pieces, experiences from the field and book reviews, as well as running regular feature sections. Articles are written for a broad readership including scientists, educators, policy makers, conservationists, science writers, naturalists and students. Biodiversity aims to provide an international forum on all matters concerning the integrity and wellness of ecosystems, including articles on the impact of climate change, conservation management, agriculture and other human influence on biodiversity.
