In this study, we compared the species composition respectively diversity of planktonic (Protozoa, Rotifera, Copepoda, Cladocera) inShivnath River water. Investigation was carried out formDecember-2016 to December-2017. Diversity of zooplankton tender to be the highest in River (r= +0.988) and the lowest (r= -0.746). The relatively high species number despite of zooplankton supported by river. Shivnath River water body seems to contribute considerably higher total abundance of zooplankton in the other two types of ecosystem. Data analysis highlighted significant difference in zooplankton abundance among the different types of water body. The zooplankton abundance was influenced by physical factor of the water bodies. Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive relationship between Location l & II and location III & IV, while there exists a correlation analysis session winter, summer andrainy. Correlation of temperature b/w location I & IIis (r= +0.999) and location III & IV is (r= +0.123). The analysed pH correlation b/w location I & II is (r= +0.447) and location III & IV is (r= +0.102).Findings of the present study provide useful knowledge on the spatial organization of zooplankton diversity in different types of fresh water ecosystem. The result of investigation that (Daphnia) particular species of zooplankton density is higher in Shivnath River at Madku Dweep, Mungeli district.
