Abstract

Thirty eight water bodies mainly comprised of streams, rivers and a lonely lake, situated in south part of the Nokrek Biosphere have been studied for their chemical characteristics/compositions. The various parameters of these waters have been discussed; from the results, it is held that barring Nangirang Stream, almost all the waters are bereft of dissolved minerals in per unit volume irrespective of their sources and locations. Results further reflect that streams waters are chemically superior over river and lake water. The paper has been concluded with possible suggestions.
