Abstract :

Dairy industry is one of the major food industry in India. Dairy is an industry where milk is processed and various milk products are manufactuared. Water is continuously required for cleaning and processing operations in a dairy plant. Water from surface supplies is contaminated by milking equipments, storage and transportation etc. Waste water discharged from the milk processing unit is white in colour The desmids belongs to the class Chlorophyceae. The order Desmidials is commonly called Desmids. Demids are single celled sometimes filamentous or colonial .One of the more common desmid genera, the sickle-shaped Closterium, often contains gypsum crystal in cell vacuoles. The global value of green algae is incredibly important. They serve as the primary source of food for other aquatic organisms and they contribute largely to the supply of oxygen. The present study 20 algal taxa were identified from 03 genera, out of which 7 species of Closterium , 11 species of Cosmarium and 1 species of Bambussina. Similarly physicochemical water analysis and seasonal variation of physicochemical parameter, Temperature, pH, Turbidity, Alkilinity, Calcium, BOD, COD and TDS were studied.
