This study investigated seasonal variations in physicochemical properties and bacterial diversity of two Ramsar wetlands in northwestern India, Renuka Ji Lake and Asan Conservation Reserve. Water samples were collected during pre\u2010monsoon (June), monsoon (August) and post\u2010monsoon (November) seasons. Physicochemical parameters were analysed using standardised IS:3025, APHA 24th Edition and SLS\/SOP protocols. Bacterial isolation was performed by serial dilution\u2013pour plating on nutrient agar, followed by Gram staining, biochemical characterisation and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Both wetlands exhibited pronounced seasonal fluctuations in water chemistry. At both sites, dissolved oxygen (Renuka Ji), turbidity and dissolved oxygen (Asan Conservation Reserve) exceeded CPCB permissible limits during specific seasons. Eleven bacterial isolates were identified, predominantly representing freshwater associated genera.\n                    <jats:italic>Agrobacterium cavarae<\/jats:italic>\n                    was comparatively uncommon in freshwater environments. No bacterial colonies were recovered from Renuka Ji Lake during post\u2010monsoon sampling within the tested dilution range (10\n                    <jats:sup>1<\/jats:sup>\n                    \u201310\n                    <jats:sup>4<\/jats:sup>\n                    ). Overall, culturable bacterial communities showed seasonal variation and were dominated by a limited number of genera. These findings highlight the ecological sensitivity of Himalayan Ramsar wetlands and emphasise the need for continuous physicochemical and microbiological monitoring for effective conservation and sustainable management.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1758-2229.70409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T23:44:31Z","timestamp":1788306271000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Seasonal Baseline Evaluation of Physicochemical Parameters and Culturable Bacterial Characteristics in Northwestern Himalayan Ramsar Sites"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-9671-2588","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shagufta","family":"Butt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Biological &amp; Environmental Sciences, Shoolini University  Solan Himachal Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chandresh","family":"Kumari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Applied Sciences and Biotechnology, Shoolini University  Solan Himachal Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rakesh Kumar","family":"Shukla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Materials Science, Faculty of Science, Shoolini University  Solan Himachal Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunil","family":"Puri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Biological &amp; Environmental Sciences, Shoolini University  Solan Himachal Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2065-897X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sadanand","family":"Pandey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Applied Sciences and Biotechnology, Shoolini University  Solan Himachal Pradesh India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8871-5953","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adane Woldemedhin","family":"Kalsido","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering, College of Engineering and Technology Wachemo University  Hosaina Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jksus.2013.05.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0248116"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.22207\/JPAM.12.2.07"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","volume-title":"Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater","author":"APHA","year":"2022"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpls.2018.01473"},{"issue":"10","key":"e_1_2_12_7_1","first-page":"814","article-title":"Water Quality Index: A Tool for Evaluation of Surface Water Quality","volume":"8","author":"Bala G.
