Abstract
The present research project was carried out to report algal flora in polluted water and various physico-chemical parameters of district charsadda in spring season. District charsadda is divided into three tehsil viz; Charsadda, Tangi and shabqadar. Samples were isolated from various spots in these three tehsils. During spring season, 60 species of algae were reported from tehsil charsadda, tehsil Tangi occupied by 52 species and 45 species of algae were isolated from tehsil shabqadar. These algal floras belong to five different classes which were Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Charyophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Xanthophyceae and Euglenophyceae. Among these classes, Chloropyceae had more diversity because it had maximum number of species i.e 31, 25 and 23 in Charsadda, Tangi and shabqadar respectively. Genus spirogyra had 20 species which was more diverse group in the research site. The physico-chemical parameters of the studied sites were; temperature, pH, turbidity, total dissolved soids, dissolved oxygen, total suspended solids and ammonia. Maximum temperature and turbidity were found in tehsil shabqadar. pH, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, were found maximum in tehsil charsadda. Total dissolved solids and total suspended solids were found maximum in tehsil Tangi.
