Abstract:

Morna Lake is largest Lake of Shirala Tahsil in Sangli District, Maharashtra. It is constructed over Morna River in the basin of Krishna.Present study was undertaken to investigate the physic – chemical characteristics and phytoplankton composition of the Morna Lake. Physico – chemical analysis of lake water exhibited richness in nitrogen ( nitrite and ammonia) and orthrophosphates which favored the growth of phytoplankton

Keywords:

Eutrophication, Physico – chemical characteristics, Phytoplankton, Pollution,Morna Lake.
