Abstract The present study entitled "Extraction and Identification of Diatom Species in Local Water Bodies of Jaipur Region" was conducted in the Department of Forensic Science, JECRC University, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Objective of the study was to determine the diatom species in different water bodies of Jaipur from Dravyavati River, Maota lake, Man Sagar lake, Jeerota lake, Tal Katora. Examination of diatoms leads to determine the cause of death i.e. anti-mortem or post-mortem drowning cases. Acid digestion method was used for the extraction of diatoms from the collected water sample. Planktonic algae communities, with total of 9 diatom genera were identified from 5 different water bodies of Jaipur, examined under light microscope at 10x and 40x magnification. The Specific species genera with selected water bodies are: Diatoma sp., Nitzschia, Actinella, Melosira have been identified in Dravyavati River. Diatom genera Navicula, Cylindrotheca closterium and Nitzschia are found in Man Sagar Lake (Jal Mahal). Diatom Genera Synedra, Fragilaria, Nitzschia, and Encyonema are found in Tal Katora. Diatom Genera Nitzschia , Navicula, Melosira are found in Maota Lake (Amer Fort) and finally the diatom genera Nitzschia is the only species found in Jeerota Lake. Major diatom genera that are frequently found in all five water samples from water bodies are Nitzschia, Navicula and Melosira.
