Abstract: Intensive investigation was made on certain ponds of Chidambaram taluk. The present studies are confined to Chlorophyceae and Bacilariophyceae. Studies revealed that the Chlorophyceae is represented by 6 orders i.e., Chlorococcales (19 genera and 41 species), Volvocales (3 genera and 3 species), Chaetophorales (2 genera), Oedogoniales (Oedogonium; 2 species, Bulbochaete; 1 species), 2 Zygnemales (Spirogyra; 4 species) and Conjugales (6 genera and 18 species), constituting 35 genera and 76 species. Chloroccales is most dominant group, representing 35 genera and 76 species. Chloroccales is most dominant group, representing 40% of the total reported green algal population were more followed by Bacilariophyceae members. It has been observed that the green algal population exhibited remarkable variations and fluctations both qualitatively and quantitatively during different seasons and months of year. The ecological characteristics of habitat water ranged remarkably i.e., pH (9-10), temperature (38-40 C), dissolved oxygen (5-11mg/l), carbondioxide (6-12mg/l), HCO3– (80-100mg/l), Ca++ (15-25mg/l), Mg++ (4-15mg/l) and Cl– (0.70-1.75mg/l).
