Abstract The present study aimed to assess the Phytoplankton diversity in the downstream of Meenachil River ,Kerala,during pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons. A total of 39 species belonging to five taxonomic divisions were identified, namely Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenophyceae, and Xanthophyceae. The results revealed that Chlorophyceae was the dominant group, followed by Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenophyceae, and Xanthophyceae. The season-wise distribution of phytoplankton showed a higher abundance in the pre-monsoon season compared to the monsoon season. This study provides valuable insights into the phytoplankton diversity of Meenachil River, Kerala, and highlights the significance of monitoring seasonal changes in phytoplankton abundance for effective water resource management. The findings of this study can be useful for further research on water quality monitoring and management in rivers
