Abstract: In the present research an attempt has been made to assess the distribution pattern of Micro algal diversity of DayyamVagu, a perennial river of Etturnagaram Wildlife sanctuary, Warangal District, Telangana, India. Comparative study of various stations of the river is unique. This type of study is new to this perennial river. As the river is passing through the entire stretch of the sanctuary, it is quite possible that there is some difference in algal composition among the different river stations. This paper deals with the micro algal diversity of DayyamVagu which passes through the Etturnagaram wildlife sanctuary of Telangana. This study was carried out during the year 2016.The samples were taken from four fixed stations of the river during the dry season of the year. During the study period 48 species of algae were observed from various stations, during the year 2016. In the present study 12 Bascillariophyceae, 19 Chlorophyceae, and 17 Cyanophyceae members were observed.
