Study Of Algae in Ponds and Tube well of Surrounding Area at Hapur.
The current study was conducted to collect, classify, and examine freshwater algal species from a range of ecological habitats in the Hapur district. The samples were obtained in sterilized containers from tube wells and ponds. The study will explore the relationship between algal communities and key environmental parameters such as water chemistry (pH, nutrient levels, etc.) and physical characteristics (temperature, light availability). The samples were analysed for pH and temperature. After collection, they were transferred to the laboratory and kept in an open tank under natural sunlight for a week. Algal species were observed and recorded through binocular microscopic examination. This analysis will help to determine how these factors affect the types and abundance of algae found in different locations. Many different varieties of algal species were found from samples collected. The total of 10 species were recorded that belong to 9 orders, 9 families and 10 genera from different sites of Hapur. Those samples were collected from mid of March to the beginning of April. The study of algae provides an effective approach for evaluating water quality across aquatic environments and enhances understanding of ecological functioning and aquatic resource management. From this, we can conclude that tube wells and ponds act as reliable sources of algal diversity, offering a sustainable environment for algal growth and serving as indicators for monitoring pollution levels.
