Abstract

Mathabhanga is the main river of the southwestern part of Bangladesh which plays big role in the supply of fresh water. The river has a great contribution in sociological, economical and environmental aspects. Most of the urban developments are established on the bank of the river and the inhabitants of the riverside areas are largely depending on the productivity of the river. But unfortunately river ecosystem is seriously degraded by anthropogenic activities over the past two or three decades. Large amount of domestic and agricultural wastes, industrial waste were deposited in the river basin, resulting the deterioration of water quality affected directly the productivity of the river ecosystem. Excess use of fertilizer and pesticides in agricultural field in order to cope up the crop yield mainly in irrigation and vegetable cultivation ultimately find its destination in natural water like rivers and lakes increase the nutrient concentration and heavy metal infestation in in aquatic environment. Excessive nutrients in water causes the overgrowth of plankton and aquatic plants causes the depletion of oxygen in water responsible for fish kills. Attempts were made to deal with the availability of fishes and to assess the negative impact of pollutants on riverine ecosystem.
