Abstract:The abundance and distribution of phytoplankton algae of Kanye Reservoir was studied from Five (5) 'B' and ''E' (4.9×10 3 cells/ml) followed by Microcystis aeruginosa and Anabaena cercinalis identified at site 'E' and 'A' (1.6×10 3
cells/ml and the class with the least number of species was Euglenopyta 2, (4%). L. there was a positive significant correlation between algae and physicochemical attributes of the reservoir. The study showed that the reservoir is not polluted and the water is safe for domestic use since the number of harmful algal cells recorded is relatively low which is within the WHO standard for safe water
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
