Water quality assessment of East Kolkata Wetland with a special focus on bioremediation by nitrifying bacteria

East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW) is designated as International Ramsar site and are the hotspot for large-scale wastewater aquaculture practices. However, the continued surveillance of physicochemical properties of water and application of an eco-friendly approach are essential to ensure safe aquaculture...
