Chroococcales in river Ganga at Jajmau Ghat, Kanpur

 

Author(s): Archana Singh*, Vijay Tiwari and Jitendra Mohan

Short note: Kanpur is one of the highly polluted cities of Uttar Pradesh, India. The north boundary of the city is made by the river Ganga. The river receives domestic and sewage waste from the city with cremation of human body along its banks and shows high degree of pollution. In Jajmau a cluster of industrial units (mostly tanneries) discharged their industrial wastes in river Ganga which caused the higher degree of water pollution in here. This polluted water fevers the growth of Cyanobacteria.
