Abstract

Phytoplankton studies at two lakes reports highest diversity in antrolli lake. Phytoplanktons were recorded highest during summer season and less during rainy season. Guttigere lake records 9 species and antrolli lake records 52 species, 1 species is common for both the lakes. Total 32 families recorded, in that Phacaceae is dominant. As Chlorophyta records highest number of species, Dinoflagellate and Zygonematophyceae records lowest number of species. Hydrobilogical studies in two lakes with various physiochemical parameters like Temeprature, PH, TDS, Electrochemical conductivity, Total alkalinity, Carbonates. Hydro carbonates, Dissolved oxygen, Chlorides, Chemical Oxygen Demand were conducted monthly from March to August which includes summer and rainy seasons of two lakes. Some major tests were conducted one in three months i.e during summer and rainy season and recorded highest in summer season only. Antrolli lake is less chemical constituents than guttigere. So antrolli lake has good water which is fit for drinking as per the above results from our study.
