Abstract	This paper present the physic-chemical characteristics and zooplanktons of Lake Hatia (Dhurwa Dam) The physico-chemical characteristics of a lake encompasses a wide range of physical and chemical properties that define its environment and influence the organisms that inhabit it.It includes temperature, transparency, dissolved oxygen, and dissolved salt in lake water. The zooplanktons are small, free-floating aquatic microorganisms. They range from about 20 micrometers to several centimeters as large copepods or jellyfish. It has a crucial role in the pathway for energy transfer between primary production and higher tropical levels. It maintains the food web and overall balance of the aquatic system. Zooplankton is good indicator of the changes in water quality because they are strongly affected by environmental conditions. They are weak swimmers and depends on water flow. Lake Hatia (Dhurwa Dam) is located in Ranchi Jharkhand, it is a significant dam on the Subarnarekha River. It is located South-west of the city the Latitude is 23°17’ and 23°20’ North and Longitude 85°9’ and 85°17’30” East. Average Elevation is about 641m (2,103ft).
