Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated bidirectional influence of human intervention on water bodies. In the present study, the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database was used to selectively extract the publications related to water quality and aquatic environment in the IOR region impacted by COVID-19 pandemic between the year of 2019 and 2022. Among the 9 document clusters generated, 4 were associated with impacts of COVID-19 towards the environment, and 5 with COVID-19 epidemiology in wastewater. The objective of the present study is to investigate the implications of lockdowns due to COVID-19 pandemic on the water quality of aquatic environment in the IOR region through literature search and scientometric analysis. The findings of this first scientometric study in the IOR region may help to improve the regional management of aquatic resources and ecosystem by clarifying the association between COVID-19 pandemic and the aquatic environment.
