This book discusses the significance of water quality parameters in aquatic ecosystems, offering a concise and practical measurement methodology for early career researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of environmental science, oceanography, and aquatic science . The keys topics covered include aquatic sampling, basics of physicochemical properties and carbonate chemistry of aquatic science , the importance of nutrients in natural water bodies, biological productivity in aquatic ecosystems, aquatic pollution, and statistical analyses of different types of water science data. Several parameters such as microplastics, dimethylsulfoniopropionate and polychlorinated biphenyls have also been incorporated in the book for comprehensive coverage of the topic. The book is meant as a practical guide for beginners and young researchers using a clear writing style and practical examples, highlighting the significance of water science parameters and their measurement protocols in aquatic environments.

Presently, Dr. Sourav Das is an Assistant Professor, in the Department of Chemistry at Brainware University, Kolkata, India. He has completed his doctoral degree (Ph.D.) from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. His research interests include water quality monitoring, environmental pollution, biogeochemistry of marine and coastal water, and optical properties of water (inherent & apparent optical properties). He has more than fourteen (14) years of research and teaching experience.
