【 摘 要 】

The physico-chemical properties and plankton diversity were studied in Oserestream, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria from November 2009 to April 2010. Surface water andplankton samples were collected from three sampling stations. High value of BiochemicalOxygen Demand of 8.68mg/L and low value of Dissolved Oxygen of 1.23mg/L at the point ofentry than at the upper flow of the stream indicate pollution stress. Also the presence of highabundance of Anabaenaand Oscillatoriasp. which are pollution indicator species shows thenegative effect the effluent from the detergent factory has on the stream, thus posing apotential threat to the people who live around and depend on the stream for daily use, hencethe need for proper management of the stream.
