Abstract	The current study uses Phytoplanton diversity to evaluate the water quality of Chinchpada and Vitthalwadi Ponds in Kalyan City. Ponds and other reservoirs are examples of freshwater environments that have enormous potential for use as irrigation and drinking water supplies, as well as for fish farming and aquaculture. Sustainable use of these aquatic bodies is becoming more difficult, though, as these habitats are expanding across the entire nation in recent years. Such freshwater environments' ecological data is important for their preservation and long-term use for human welfare. A considerable number of chlorophyceae members, such as closterium, cosmerium, and spirogyra, indicates that the water body is contaminated.Presence of chlorophyceae member like closterium, cosmerium, spirogyra in large number indicating these water bodies are polluted may be because of some anthropogenic activities, discharge of organic material from surrounded area.
