ABSTRACT
Water and biological samples were collected from 3 main points of Mangho Pir area(which is used regularly for commercial bathing by the visitors) and analyzed for physico - chemical and biological analysis. The temperatures remained constant 45-47.6 °C and are classified as Euthermal springs. The conductivity and pH were in the range of 2340 - 3460 μ S/cm and 7.2 - 8.2 respectively. The Cyanophyta was dominant with 44 species, 8 species of Rhizopoda, 7 species of Chlorophyta, 6 species of Zooplankton, 4 species Bacillarophyta and 1 specie of Nematoda were present.
