Abstract (Original Language): 
The present study deals with the investigation of chlorococcales in Ganga water between Bithoor (Kanpur Dehat) to Jajmau, Kanpur (U.P.). Herein qualitative and quantitative estimates of the algal compounds have been made on monthly basis and as many as 15 genera (Actinastrum,Chlorococcum, Golenkinia, Ankistrodesmus, Closteritun,Coelastrum Selenastrum, Senedesmus, Characium, Chlorella, Teraedon, Hydrodictyon, Closteriopsis, Crucigenia, and Oocystis,) spread over 46 species were recorded. Chlorococcals play an important role in determining water quality, odor, colour and pollution. There are many species which can tolerate high organic pollution. Their role as possible indicator of organic pollution has been discussed. The Compound Quotient value for Ganga water is high which points towards the fact that the water is eutrophic with organic pollution. Present study aims to find out a potential algal pollution index as an indicator of organic pollution and biomonitoring of polluted water. Organic pollution in water bodies is increasing day by day because of rapid industrialization, disposal of municipal, sewage and domestic wastes in water bodies. These pollutants bring about a change in physico-chemical characteristics as well as in biotic components of ecosystem. Different indices to evaluate the organic pollution of a water body on the basis of algal groups have been used.
