The availability of algal species and its diversity correlated with water quality of ten ponds studied has shown different results. The sampling and experiment undertaken in June,2017 studied for algal species frequency, dominance, richness, evenness, diversity correlated with quality of ponds water in ten ponds located in coal city of Dhanbad
