Studies on biochemical aspects of water pollution based on analysis of glycolic acid, chlorophylls, phycobiliproteins and total dissolved solids were made in twenty lakes in aro;nd Mysore city. Four categories of water have been recognized based on the range of glycolic acid present. The high values of glycolic acid may be due to high contents of organic pollutants coupled with high intensities of light during summer that inhibit algal photosynthesis and increase the percentage of extracellular release. The glycollate excrete may directly reflect the growth and photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton. High amounts of pollutants enhance the growth of bluegreen algae and in turn increase phycobiliproteins. Phytoplankton members of Euglenaceae also occur as mixed organisms to be of lesser relevance. Total dissolved solid content is high in Melkote lake, possibly due to the regular disturbance by devotees visiting the temple tank.
