Abstract Aquatic ecosystems are commonly classified based on their productivity using the concept of trophic state. The trophic state index (TSI) ranges from 0 to 100, where each step represents a doubling of algal biomass. Parameters such as total phosphorus, chlorophyll-a, and Secchi disc transparency are used to calculate this index. In the present study, the trophic status of Ramanpad Reservoir ( Okachetty Vagu ) in Wanaparthy district, Telangana, was evaluated. The results revealed that all sampling sites fall under oligotrophic condition, indicating low nutrient levels, high water clarity, and low algal growth.
