Phytoplankton and zooplankton reflect the quality of water; some aquatic plants and animals are present in the dam and nearby water bodies throughout the seasons. The presence of all these aquatic diversities is very important for the maintenance of physico-chemical parameters and the purity of water. Phytoplankton and macrophytes are the primary food for aquatic animals. This diverse flora is essential in the water because certain organisms are born in different seasons of the year and require food. This diversity in flora is necessary to meet the food requirements. They are good indicators of changes in water as they are strongly affected by environmental conditions and respond quickly to changes in water quality. In this study, 18 macrophyte species of 4 different types were recorded in this dam during the study period 2023-24. The types of flora are: 1. Free-floating suspended submerged weeds, 2. Submerged floating weeds, 3. Submerged floating and Rooted weeds and 4. Floating leaf weeds with roots.
