Abstract
In this study, environmental conditions and algal structure of Sevindikli and Sipahiler Ponds were investigated. For the study, water samples were taken seasonally in January -2018 March, water quality, flora and fauna and other environmental parameters were obtained.
Agricultural activities around both capitals are intensified with the removal of rainwater and water from the pond. The water levels in the ponds increase by 60% water level due to rainfall in the winter months and decrease considerably due to temperature and irrigation in the summer months.
As a result, it was determined that the members of Chlorophta, Cyanophya and Euglenophia were abundant due to the shallow water temperature and the lesser number of Bacillariophyta members in Sevindikli and Sipahiler ponds. These species are very important both for biodiversity and sustainability of aquatic life.
