Abstract
The current research focuses on the documenting of aquatic macrophytes from Ghunghuta dam. Macrophytic survey was conducted in dam for a period of two years and recorded the presence of 17 macrophytic species belonging to 14 families. Among various ecological groups, rooted-floating type with 7 species showed qualitative dominance over emergent (04 species), and submerged and free floating species (03 species each). The computation of different diversity indices of macrophytes revealed that the highest values for the Shannon index, Simpson diversity index and Margalef diversity index were exhibited by Site-S2, Site-S1 and Site-S6 respectively.
