The present study was carried out to find zooplankton diversity of Singada lake near Wani in Yavatmal district of Maharashtra. For the present investigation water samples were collected from the four sampling stations of Singada Lake, Near Wani Maharashtra, India. Each planktonic replicate identified under the microscope with its standard identification and its monographs as well as keys which were suggested by APHA (1989); Tonapi (1980). There were 42 species belonging to five different classes from Zooplankton diversity. The class wise dominance of zooplankton was Rotifera > Cladocera > Copepoda > Ostracoda > Protozoa. Keratella cochlearis was found to be dominant species belonging to rotifera among other zooplankton species.
