ABSTRACT: There are a number of reservoirs in the West Zarafshan Range, which have
their own water-saturated, hydrographic, soil and ecological features. In this
regard, their algoflora is also formed in its own way. As a result of research
in this area, 217 species of algae were identified, belonging to 5 divisions,
11 classes, 37 orders, 57 families and 97 genera. The development and
distribution of organisms in water is influenced by a number of external
factors, such as: temperature, light, mineral and organic substances,
active-reactive water environment, gas regime (oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen
sulfide), flow rate, change in water volume, degree transparency and wave
formation.
