ABSTRACT
Ali Murad Barijo and Karogar springs are present in a hilly area of Thana Bola Khan within Chanoir mountainous range. Biological and water samples were collected from the Ali Murad Barijo springs at the source and examined for chemical and biological analysis. pH and conductivity were observed in the range of 7.57 to 8.13 and 792 to 1600 μS/cm with flow rates between 15 to 30 L/min. Biological samples were analyzed for algal flora and fauna along with higher aquatic plants. Karogar spring indicates TDS within the range 983 - 1025 mg/L and pH 7.6 - 7.8 with water out put of about 20 - 40 L/min. In the Ali Murad Barijo and Karogar spring having Chara contraria, Chara zeylanica, Nitella hyalina, Nitellopsis obtusa, Phragmites communis and Typha domingensis were found dominant along with Puntius ticto and P. sophore, fishes.
