This study was mainly focused upon the impact of heavy metals pollution (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in aquatic macrophytes of the littoral zones of the lakes of Bangalore Urban region. The heavy metals concns. were as follows: Manganese (257.6 ± 39.6) ppm; Lead (66 ± 12.5)ppm; Chromium (64.9 ± 6.2); Nickel (42.3 ± 3.2), Cobalt (18.8 ± 4.0) and Cadmium (4.7 ± 0.7). Copper, Manganese and Zinc were largely within normal range while Chromium, Lead, Cobalt and Nickel were in crit. range. There were more statistically significant correlations between metals in the dry than in the west sea..
