Over 30 species of algae predominantly belonging to cyanobacteria were recorded. Among the cyanobacteria contribution by N2-flxing species (both heterocystous and unicellular aerobic diazotrophs) was more than 50% and their distribution was abundant in the middle region of the stream. Composition of cyanobacteria and algae flora varied in different stream, and species diversity was maximum in stream which supported the highest number of species. Based on the diversity of the species, streams could be classified into two clusters. The distribution of algae and cyanobacteria flora of fresh water streams of Oasis have been described. Although Alesinskaja and Bardin (1965) and Pankow et al (1987) have described the algal flora of this region, to the best of our knowledge no attempt has been made to examine the cyanobacteria and algae species diversity in fresh water streams of the Oasis.
