Abstract

The present investigation concerns the survey of diversity of aquatic macrophytes in Yavatmal district. Aquatic macrophytes play a prominent role in water ecosystems. The aquatic plants contribute to maintaining key functions and related biodiversity in fresh water ecosystems and to provide the needs of human societies. Aquatic vegetation is important part of aquatic ecosystem as they contribute in no small measure to the well being of other components of dynamic ecosystem. Aquatic plant provide directly or indirectly food, shelter and habitat for a large number of aquatic organisms which includes economically important fish species, they also enrich the pond water with oxygen during the photosynthetic activity. Macrophytes play a significant role in maintaining the growth of fauna in water bodies. The present survey was carried out at monthly intervals during January 2011- December 2013
