Abstract:
The study of water chemistry and algae of Lotus Lake, Islamabad was carried out from June 1, 2000 to May 31, 2001. Physico-chemical analysis of water taken from the same sampling point as that used for algae were taken from the monthly basis record in the laboratory. The physico-chemical analyses used in this study were temperature, pH, free carbondioxide, dissolved oxygen, ammonia nitrogen, humidity, total hardness, orthophosphate etc. and total 25 physico-chemical parameter were obtained as well as 107 species belonging to 47 genera of 5 algal groups. Cyanophyceae (57 species 53.3% belonging to 18 genera), Chlorophyceae (32 species 29.9% belonging to 24 genera), Euglenophyceae (11 species 10.3% belonging to 2 genera), Dinophyceae (6 species 5.6% belonging to 2 genera), Charophyceae (1 species 0.9% belonging to 1 genus) were recorded.
