A typical issue in ponds is the extensive and quick development of planktonic algae, which is brought on by an increased fertilizer supply. Excessive algal development and eutrophication cause water to become less clear, hinder the growth of floating plants, deplete oxygen considerably more deeply, accumulate unattractive materials, destroy natural resources, produce disagreeable odors, and kill fish. The Mugberia Gangadhar Mahavidyalaya Pond is dealing with a similar issue. Prior to the monsoon, the phytoplankton biodiversity in the campus pond was investigated. After being collected, the phytoplanktons were identified using a hemocytometer. Phormidium sp., Oscillatoria sp., Pediastrum sp., Microcystis sp., and Navicula sp. were the phytoplankton species found in the college pond. Given that phytoplankton is an excellent predictor of pollution, the abundance of this kind of plankton suggests that the water in the college pond is contaminated.Furthermore, it was too settled that the cyanophyceae, bacillariophyceae, and euglenophyceae groups were subordinated to the phytoplankton growths of the chlorophyceae group.
