In the present research paper the phytoplankton diversity of Devarjan dam was studied. This is medium sized dam is situated 18.330N latitude and 76.990E longitudes, which is 17 km away from Udgir (Maharashtra). The water samples were collected during June 2019 to May 2020 from four selected sampling stations for quantitative and qualitative estimation of phytoplankton. The present investigation results were found that among the three group of phytoplankton, Chlorophyceae 43.28% was dominant group followed by Cyanophyceae 32.07% and Bacillariophyceae 24.63%. These results indicate the abundance of phytoplanktons and high level of primary energy which is subjected to sustainably development of reservoir utility. The phytoplankton population in any aquatic system is biological wealth of water for fishes and constitutes a vital link in the food chain.
