A comparative limnological studies was carried out in two temple tanks namely Karamadai temple pond positioned at the suburban regions of the Coimbatore with that of VenugopalKrishnaswamy temple tank located in the prime area of urbanization area of the Coimbatore city, Tamil Nadu. These temple ponds show some differences namely location, size of the pond, source for the tank, algal diversity and physico-chemical analysis. Both the temple tanks includes Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Euglenophyceae and Bacillariophyceae members in during the study period. Apart, from the algal diversity (individual cell count using haemocytometer cells/ml), physico-chemical parameters, environmental factors, trophic status of the water body, species diversity index, pollution status of the tank and species richness were calculated. Thus, this investigation is an attempt and also help in understanding the current status of the water, maintenance of the tank without pollution, as these are sacred water conservation is another important criterion. This part deals with algal diversity & physico-chemical parameters studied during the period.
