The current study investigates the species richness, density, variety and abundance of planktonic population (Phytoplankton and Zooplankton) in the Makroda reservoir.Total 37 genera and 49 species of phytoplankton from four taxonomic assemblages (Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, and Dinophyceae) were identified in Makroda Lake. The Bacillariophyceae were abundant in both qualitative and quantitative terms in Makroda Reservoir. Summer had the highest species richness, while winter had the lowest. The diversity analysis found 17 genera belonging to zooplankton categories such as Rotifera, Cladocera, Copepoda, and Ostracoda. Among Rotifers, Brachionus and Lecane prevailed in all stations in the water bodies studied during the research period. Zooplankton were most visible in the winter, while Copepods are really visible during the monsoon season while Ostracods were also most commonly seen during the winter season. The seasonal fluctuation were observed in the entire diversity of planktonic population of Makroda reservoir at all the seasons.
