As with previous work on the rising salinity
impact on freshwater ecosystems, this study remains
limited to the study area of the semi-arid region.
Given that many areas of other countries and regions
are subjected to rising salinity due to salt water intrusion,
modifi ed hydrological regime due to extensive
agriculture practices, climate change and human
intervention, this study indicates a promising area
for research related to the impact of rising salinity
on freshwater ecosystem in other regions. Studying
the relationship between the increasing salinity and
the biotic structure can be used to estimate the ecosystem’s
sensitivity. Therefore, proper management
of vulnerable ecosystems can be applied.
