Micro plastics are generally preproduction pellets, micro beads, polymer fibers and degraded micro plastic. Micro plastics make up to as much as 85 percentage of the plastic pollution in the shorelines. This large percentage in the total number of pollutant causes ecological stress caused by the biomagnifications along the food chain. Estimations show that globally majority of micro plastics comes from the runoff of 10 rivers along which includes the Ganges and Indus. To understand the role rivers, play as micro plastic carriers from land to oceans, the sampling of micro plastic is done at the relatively less populated part of Noyyal river and test are carried out to identify presence of micro plastic in the sample. Visual Identification method was used to identify the micro plastic components with relative ease and economy.

Meenachil river in the humid tropical region of Kerala, India, is one of a kind river with human settlement along the banks for all its 78 kms of flow through the Kottayam District. The analysis of streamflow from four stream gauge stations was done using Range Variability Approach. The analysis was down as a two-time period analysis with the parametric approach with the period separation taken according to prior studies on land-use change. The analysis shows a high degree of alteration, which can be attributed to the land-use change and can be understood as the root cause for the deterioration of water quality and also the ecological distress, which is well documented in the downstream and watershed regions of the river.

The health of the river is dependent on various factors such as quantity, quality, and timing of flow. The spectrum of river flow variability is an ecologically crucial component in a river ecosystem. This study carried out in the Thamirabarani basin, Tamil Nadu, India, from 1984 to 2008 and in the Meenachil basin, Kerala, India, from 1980 to 2017. The analysis done using the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration software reflects the basins' ecological distress, which plagued with quality issues, siltation, and weed proliferation. The absence of ecologically relevant low floods and large floods can be associated with the river basins' ecological degradation.
