The rich nutrient level of the soil was not reflected at the water phase as the<br />

value were very low in traces. However, total alkalinity (56 to 75 ppm) and the specific<br />

conductance (160-440 rnmhos cm-'), indicated moderate productivity of these<br />

waterbodies. Ihe dense proliferation of aquatic macrophytes in certain chaurs acts as a<br />

bulwark to the release of nubients in the water phase from the soil, due to locking of<br />

nutrients in the hydrophytic chain. Further, reccurance of flood in the chaw area<br />

accelerates the deposition of silt, which in turn might have been forming canopies over
