Abstract

During the last few years, the water quality of most Indian aquatic systems have been deteriorating because of increased anthropogenic activity organisms especially phytoplankton which are the producers of aquatic systems depend directly on the physico-chemical variables of water. Hence, physico-chemical variables play an important role in the composition and diversity of aquatic organism. Hence, the present study was attempted at Lower Anicut at Anakkarai area in Thanjavur District, Tamil Nadu. Various physico-chemical variables have been analysed on a seasonal basis and the results interpreted with those of similar workers.
