Water is useful for life activities of human beings. It is used for various purposes like drinking, irrigation, transport, sanitation, power generation and industries. Water is the most important and essential abiotic factor of all kinds of ecosystem and it also forms the habitat for enormous varieties of organisms. In other words, water forms the largest ecosystem, that is aquatic ecosystem of the biosphere. Global water is broadly classified into two classes viz fresh water and salt water. Fresh water present in lentic and lotic form. The rise and fall in chemical and physical factors of water bodies frequently affect the flora & fauna, alternating their number and diversity. About 97% of earths water is ocean water. It is saline and not useful for drinking and irrigation. Rest of 02% is in the form of ice at Polar Regions.

Water is indeed a wonderful universal solvent. It has unique parameter of dissolving and carrying in suspension a huge variety of chemicals. Thus water is the “elixir” of life. Modern civilization is dependent on water for irrigation, industry, domestic needs, shipping and of increasing importance for sanitation and disposal of waste. 75 percent of the surface of the earth is covered with salt water and fresh water. It is present in water bodies such as ocean, ponds, dams, lakes, streams, rivers, mountains with ice-caps etc. About 97 percent of earth’s water is found in ocean, 2 percent is frozen as ice in pole and remaining 1 percent is available to us in the form of fresh water in as rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and ground water.

Phytorestoration of Abandoned Mining and Oil Drilling Sites presents case studies and the latest research on the most effective methods to address the large amounts of waste materials released due to mining and oil drilling. In particular, phytoremediation is described as a novel, eco-friendly, cost-effective method for extracting toxic compounds by plants for the restoration of contaminated sites. Plantings on these contaminated areas lead to the removal of toxic substances such as heavy metals and hydrocarbons, improvement in the physicochemical and biological properties of the soil, long-term forest ecosystem rehabilitation, restoration of ecosystem productivity, stability and biological diversity, and reductions in CO2. Utilizing worldwide examples, this book discusses the potential of phytoremediation as an ideal solution for sites contaminated by mining and oil drilling sites. - Includes exploration of efficient plants for restoring contaminated former mining and oil drilling sites - Addresses adverse impacts of toxicants released from mining activities on living organisms, including human health - Presents characteristics of contaminated former mining and oil drilling sites

Linnaeus (1754) was first time gave the name of algae to a group of plants. Agardh (1864) arranged algae in six well-defined orders: Diatomaceae (including desmids), Nostochineae, Confewoideae, Uluaceae, Florideae and Fucoideae and described 20 genera. Significant works during these years were the work of Kuetzing (1843-1849) who described many species. Hassall (1842-1845) made an outstanding contribution in which he recorded many species.

"Diversity is the hallmark of living things on earth today. In its absence the earth's surface would be as monotonous as that of the moon or the planets about which we know". The word diversity means variety, diverseness, differences, variations among the individuals. The term Biodiversity refers to the totality of Genus, Species and Ecosystem of the region. It is fact that all the species can be occurring at one place whether or not a species can occur on a site. It is determined by the environmental conditions of the site and the range of tolerance of the species.
