Abstract	Periphytic algal assemblages in the River Sindh of Kashmir Himalaya were studied in relation to environmental factors and anthropogenic alterations like flow regulation for Run-of-River hydropower plants to understand their ecology in a regulated river ecosystem. Sites were sampled from unregulated, regulated, and downstream reaches along the river on a seasonal basis from the year 2017 to 2019. A total of 48 species were identified, spread over 31 genera. Non-metric multidimensional analysis showed clear distinction in periphytic algal assemblage samples based on sites and potentially some more minor distinction based on seasons rendering the sites into two distinct groups (G1 and G2). The ADONIS test showed that the groups (G1 and G2 sites) do not significantly differ in terms of how communities differ from one another, but there is a difference in species compositions based on seasons. However, the betadisper test indicated that groups (G1 and G2 sites) and seasons present homogeneity among group dispersions (compositions vary similarly) while having significantly different compositions. Geo-physical factors (discharge and altitude) accounted for most variations, while the scraper community played a minor role. This study provides scientific insights related to the ecology of a regulated Himalayan river and may provide information relevant to managing the River Sindh sustainably.

Abstract	As the run-of-river (RoR) hydropower projects remain understudied, we conducted this study to understand how these projects affect the hydro-chemical dynamics and water quality index (WQI) of the Sindh River in the Kashmir Himalayas. We used multivariate statistical techniques and WQI to identify the spatiotemporal dynamics of 18 physico-chemical parameters from 11 sampling stations distributed along the length of river Sindh from December 2017 to December 2019. The dataset was classified into three groups using hierarchical cluster analysis based on similarities between hydro-chemical characteristics, and the results were confirmed by discriminant analysis. Wilk's quotient distribution further showed that ions, nutrients, free carbon dioxide, water temperature, and pH contributed to the formation of clusters.

Abstract	As the run-of-river (RoR) hydropower projects remain understudied, we conducted this study to understand how these projects affect the hydro-chemical dynamics and water quality index (WQI) of the Sindh River in the Kashmir Himalayas. We used multivariate statistical techniques and WQI to identify the spatiotemporal dynamics of 18 physico-chemical parameters from 11 sampling stations distributed along the length of river Sindh from December 2017 to December 2019. The dataset was classified into three groups using hierarchical cluster analysis based on similarities between hydro-chemical characteristics, and the results were confirmed by discriminant analysis. Wilk’s quotient distribution further showed that ions, nutrients, free carbon dioxide, water temperature, and pH contributed to the formation of clusters. Principle component analysis revealed that the chloride (Cl⁻), total phosphorus (TP), ortho-phosphorus (PO₄–P), nitrate-nitrogen (NO₃–N), nitrite-nitrogen (NO₂–N), and sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻) are significant factors that influence the water quality. Furthermore, our results suggest that diverting water for RoR operation did not significantly raise the WQI value to the point where water in the bypassed reaches could be declared unfit for drinking. Our analysis concluded that inclusive assessments are vital for framing policies on expanding RoR hydropower in the region.

Abstract	Microplastics (MPs) are emerging as a serious environmental concern, with wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) acting as the main entry routes for MPs into aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. On a global scale, our literature review found that MP research in WWTPs has only been conducted on 121 WWTPs in 17 countries, with the majority of the work being done in Europe (53%), followed by the United States of America and Canada (24%), Asia (18%), and Australia (5%) in recent years. MPs in WWTPs are primarily derived from Personal Care and Cosmetic Products (PCCPs), which are primarily composed of polyethylene (PE) derivatives. Based on the studies, microfibers (57%) and fragments (47%) are observed to be the most common MP forms in influents and effluents of WWTPs. The chemical characterization of MPs detected in WWTPs, showed the occurrence of polyethylene (PE) (22%), polystyrene (PS) (21%), and polypropylene (13%). Although MP retention/removal efficiencies of different treatment technologies vary from medium to high, deliberations on sludge disposal on agricultural soils containing MPs and MP intrusion into groundwater are required to sustainably regulate MP contaminant transport. Thus, the development of efficient detection methods and understanding their fate are of immense significance for the management of MPs. Despite the fact that ongoing research in MPs and WWTPs has unquestionably improved our understanding, many questions and concerns remain unanswered. In this review, the current status of the detection, occurrence, and impact of MPs in WWTPs across the world are systematically reviewed to prioritize policy-making to recognize the WWTPs as global conduits of MPs.

Abstract	The outbreak of the deadly virus (novel coronavirus or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2) that emerged in December 2019, remained a controversial subject of intense speculations regarding its origin, became a worldwide health problem resulting in serious coronavirus disease 2019 (acronym COVID-19). The concern regarding this new viral strain "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2" (acronym SARS-CoV-2) and diseases it causes (COVID-19) is well deserved at all levels. The incidence of COVID-19 infection and infectious patients are increasing at a high rate. Coronaviruses (CoVs), enclosed positive-sense RNA viruses, are distinguished by club-like spikes extending from their surface, an exceptionally large genome of RNA, and a special mechanism for replication. Coronaviruses are associated with a broad variety of human and other animal diseases spanning from enteritis in cattle and pigs and upper chicken respiratory disease to extremely lethal human respiratory infections. With World Health Organization (WHO) declaring COVID-19 as pandemic, we deemed it necessary to provide a detailed review of coronaviruses discussing their history, current situation, coronavirus classification, pathogenesis, structure, mode of action, diagnosis and treatment, the effect of environmental factors, risk reduction and guidelines to understand the virus and develop ways to control it.

Abstract	The Run-of-River (RoR) hydropower projects change the natural flow regime and impact the ecology of the river ecosystem. Assumptions of eco-friendliness surrounding RoR hydropower plants have been rarely tested. Keeping this knowledge gap in view, the present study was undertaken to understand the impact of ROR power plants on the macroinvertebrate assemblages in the Sindh River Basin of Kashmir Himalaya. Multivariate statistical techniques were employed to understand the relationship between dynamic patterns and variability in diversity (Alpha and Beta), abundance and pattern of macroinvertebrate assemblages and environmental factors. Non-metric multidimensional ordination plot (Bray Curtis index) revealed that taxa composition differed among sites, and to a lesser extent among seasons. β-diversity evaluation at spatial scale revealed a significant difference between sites based on abundance data, but the difference was pronounced using presence-absence data. Betadisper and Adonis's test indicated that the sites are homogeneously dispersed (distance to centroid) about taxa studied while having significantly different compositions. Alpha-diversity metrics (Shannon) along the gradient of Sindh River, is largely explained by the variations in substrate types and Total Solids (TS) while the variance in macroinvertebrate assemblage (beta diversity) to a large extent is explained by altitude (alt), discharge, and medium-large cobbles (MLC) throughout the study area. Based on relative abundance (%), the upper turbulent and unregulated sites (S1 to S6) characterized by cobble and gravel were found dominated by Deuterophlebiidae, Tipulidae, and Blephariceridae while Simulidae, Gammaridae, and Chironomidae had a greater preference for lower sites. The hydrological modifications resulting from RoR hydropower plants showed clear impact on beta-diversity and other macroinvertebrate assemblage patterns at regulated stretch (S7 and S8) and downstream reaches. Furthermore, Bray-Curtis and Jaccard's metrics results demonstrated that sites in the regulated stretch (S7 and S8) have higher similarity in terms of macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance. Regulated (S7 and S8) and downstream site had higher percentage of collector functional feeding group compared to the other sites. The present study provides valuable information on the effects of environmental factors and river regulation on macroinvertebrates assemblage patterns critical for effective management and restoration of river ecosystems.
