In the present study Anabaena (5), Scytonema (2), Oscillatoria (3), Chroococcus (2), Gloeothece (1) and Lyngbya (2) were found to be the dominant forms, whereas Gloeotrichia (1), Microcystis (1), Aphanothece (1), Phormidium (1) were shown common occurrence and Spirulina (1), Gloecapsa (1), Cylindrospermum (1), Nostoc (1) were found rare.
