Nitrate, phosphate, silicate, greens, Harsholav Pond, Thar Desert.
The study was conducted at the Thar Desert's Harsholav Pond near Bikaner for fifteen months, over all seasons. This desert region has a shortage of water and hot, semi-arid climatic conditions; thus, this pond was built primarily to supply the drinking needs of humans and animals. Three major nutrients were investigated: nitrates, phosphates, and silicate. The Chlorophyceae (greens) were researched, containing five taxa: Spirogyra, Cladophora, Oedogonium, Coelastrum, and Scenedesmus, with Spirogyra dominating during the study period. Spirogyra population ranged from 100 X 10³/l (May) to 600 X 10³/l (September, October). The population peaked during the rainy season and declined throughout the summer. Nitrate, phosphate, and silicate concentrations ranged from 0.006 to 5.8 mg/l.
