| Abstract | Channels and streams flowing through urbanized areas are often modified by lining the channel bed with concrete to prevent flooding caused by land-use changes in the catchment area. Even when eco-friendly works, such as fish pools and fish habitat blocks, are incorporated into the modification to accommodate aquatic ecosystems, there will be impacts on the food web and, consequently, the amount of food available for fish. In this study, the food web structure of the Ooe drainage channel, a small concrete-lined stream through an urban area, was investigated using stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen. We compared the characteristics of the Ooe channel to those of several other aquatic systems. We found a single trophic transfer line, from particulate organic matter (POM) to benthic fish (Rhinogobius sp.) and crustaceans (Palaemon paucidens) via swimming fish (Squalidus chankaensis and Pseudorasbora. parva). However, the highest trophic level (benthic fish) was only 2.6–2.8 because few planktonic arthropods occurred in the web between POM and fish, unlike in more natural bodies of water. In addition, neither terrestrial plants nor periphyton were major sources of POM. Instead, organic matter from domestic wastewater appeared to be the major source of POM in the Ooe channel. Thus, the food web structure of this concrete-lined stream flowing through an urbanized zone proved to be strongly affected by its non-natural surroundings and extremely vulnerable to changes in those surroundings. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
