摘要:The relationship between Water Quality Index (WQI) and the plankton diversity in polluted lake (AlaguduLake) of Mysore district has been studied. Eight physico-chemical parameters and 21 plankton species were consideredfor the study. ISO 3166 alpha 2 coding was applied to the lake. The quality of water was rated as good for only twomonths, while it was rated as medium for rest of the months. Very few plankton species dominated the lake and had nosignificant impact on the WQI. Navicula veneta, Navicula rhynococephala, Nitzschia punctata, Gomphonemahybridense and Pinnularia achrosphaeria were the principal components of the lake water. Among the physicochemicalparameters, total nitrogen and change in water temperature had a major role. WQI is mainly determined bythe physical and chemical parameters.
