lakes, notably, the Lake Nasser/Nubia in
Africa and the London Reservoirs.
10. Though not very widely known, the chapter
has dealt with gravel-pit lakes. The high altitude (HA) lentic bodies are unique ecosystems in the world. They are distributed across
the world mainly in the mountainous regions.
In India, they occur abundantly in the hilly
provinces of northeast India (Arunachal
Pradesh, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland,
Sikkim, etc.), Uttarakhand, Himachal
Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, etc. They
depict characteristic salient features and are
adored by traditional beliefs in their serine
environment. The HA lentic bodies are also
abundant in other parts of the globe (other
than India), notably, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Caucasus, China,
Mongolia, Africa, the USA, etc. The lentic
bodies depict unique ecological and biological features. They play signifi cant role in the
nutrition and avocation of the people.
11. In fi ne, the chapter ends with an account of
the uses and abuses of lakes and a note on the
lake fi sheries.
