Abstract
Algae act as indicators of environmental conditions due to their
sensitivity changes in water quality and other factors. Therefore, three lakes
were surveyed in Koppal District, North Karnataka; South-Western India for
Algal diversity. The water samples of lakes were collected and examined. It was
noted that, sodium (64.63), Tds (566.32) and pH (8.82) were found maximum in
the water sample of Basapur Lake and Bicarbonate value (6.00), Total hardness
(150) and chloride (5.6) were found to be more in Ginigera Lake. A total of 39
species belonging were identified and recorded, among them 16 species of
Bacillariophyceae, 15 species of Chlorophyceae, 06 species of Cyanophyceae and
02 species of Euglenophyceae. Algal species namely Cosmarium, Spirogyra
and Closterium belongs to Chlorophyceae were reported from all the
lakes. The present research findings clearly indicate that, the
physico-chemical parameters of water along with biological characteristics can
provide clear idea of the trophic status of water bodies.
