| Wetlands are vital for human survival. They are among the world’s most productive environments. The phytoplanktonic diversity is very important for the conservation of freshwater ecosystem. A total of 30 species out of which 13 species belongs to chlorophyceae, 3 to Euglenophyceae, 8 to Bacillariophyceae, 6 to Cyanophyceae. The result indicates that the maximum number of genera occurred during summer (11-17) followed by winter (5-18) and monsoon season (6-9) respectively. Ankistrodesmus, Euglena, Navicula, Nitzschia, Oscillatoria, Ceratium, Closterium, Synedra, Cymbella, Spirulina and Microcystis as identified as eutrophic pollution indicator organisms.
