SYNOPSISBiomes have been present long before humans inhabited planet earth. Ever since man became aware of and understood the surroundings he went into a deep study of the same. The biologists divided the living world into major zones and called it �BIOMES. Each biome is a world in itself having its own distinctive climate plants and animals along with human beings who have become an integral part of every biome. The entire series of biomes has been covered under twelve topics and each topic is in turn divided into two parts to provide in depth knowledge of each biome.Rivers and Lakesplay a vital role in the Earths water cycle. As the river flows it wears away the ground and slowly and steadily over millions of years reshape the landscape forming one of the most diverse biomes. In contrast to rivers a Lake forms when water collects in the depression caused in the land. Lakes are relatively young features on Earths surface created by glaciers during the Ice Age. It is an adventure in itself to know the animals that habitat these freshwaters. The majority of them belong to the family of invaders. These are the kind of animals whose ancestors entered fresh water from either the ocean or from land to make freshwater their permanent home.This program takes the viewer on a journey of discovery and understanding of Rivers and Lakes. It provides a window to look closely at the various aspects of the biome starting from climate of the biome to the future that is in store for it.
