Study of Aquatic Resources and Concerned Livelihood of Nainital

Nainital is one of the most famous tourist destinies of Uttrakhand. It is well known as the Lake District of Uttarakhand as a large number of lakes in the area are found. The study is focused in the Nainital lake system in Nainital district of Uttarakhand, India. Naini Lake is the most important water body in Nainital in terms of both environment and tourist attraction. It is also a recipient of storm water for large catchments. The two lakes: Nainital, and Bhimtal lake are polluted due to urbanization and tourism activities examine and assess diversity of natural resources i.e. how varied or scarce are the various species of animals and plants (Flora and Fauna) found in the lake. On the basis of our study, we conclude that the local people are getting a plenty of earnings for their betterment but there is just need of an attention to protect natural resources in Nainital.
