SUMMARY
The concentration of chlorophyll a was measured in the warm monomictic impoundment, Itezhi-tezhi Lake ([xbar] = 2,00 mg m−3); in the small, slightly polluted Chongwe Dam ([xbar] = 11,0 mg m−3); and in the temporary Mungasiya River ([xbar] = 53,4 mg m−3). The average standing crop of the periphyton of green filamentous algae in the Chongwe River reached 28,3 mg m−2. The highest concentrations of chlorophyll ([xbar] = 69,6 mg m−2) were found in the Cyanophyta community of the extreme biotope of Longola Hot Springs.
