Abstrakt: This article presents the findings of a study on plankton diversity in the Yamuna River in Haryana, India, after the COVID-19 pandemic. The study collected samples from three sites and identified 17 genera of phytoplankton and 30 genera of zooplankton. The diversity of phytoplankton was highest in Yamunanagar, while the diversity of zooplankton was highest in Panipat. The article also provides information on the physico-chemical parameters of the river water. The study examines the diversity of phytoplankton and zooplankton species in different segments of the Yamuna River in India, and analyzes water quality parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, and total hardness. The findings provide valuable information about the biodiversity and water quality of the Yamuna River, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and assessing its water quality.
