From above table and graph, higher values of similarity index show that Keenjhar<br />
lake-Chotiari Reservoir and Keenjhar-Pai Forest have much common species<br />
composition as compared to other pairs of sites. Pairs of sites can be arranged<br />
on a scale of similar species composition in descending order as:<br />
Keenjhar lake -Chotiari Wetlands Complex and Keenjhar- Pai Forest > Shah<br />
Belo-Pai Forest > Chotiari Wetlands Complex- Shah Belo > Keenjhar lake- Keti<br />
Bunder> Keenjhar lake- Shah Belo> Keti Bunder- Pai Forest> Keti Bunder- Shah<br />
Belo > Keti Bunder- Chotiari Wetlands Complex > Chotiari Wetlands Complex-<br />
Pai Forest<br />
Finally coming to the diversity index for the sites, Table 47 and Figure 38 show<br />
the Simpson’s index for all the sites during winter.<br />

1 Keti Bunder 0.93<br />
2 Keenjhar lake 0.82<br />
3 Pai Forest 0.94<br />
4 Chotiari Reservoir 0.91<br />
5 Keti Shah 0.94<br />
