This research is carried out to study the bacteriological biodiversity and quality of water during premonsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon in Panvel lakes, Maharashtra, India. Most Probable Number (MPN) countwas carried out by using Mac Conkey’s broth in order to classify the lakes into different categories. Pathogenicbacteria colonies were isolated from water samples collected from different lakes, by spread plate method. Afterincubation, different colonies from incubated plates were picked; purified by repeated sub-culturing before beingexamined for gram reaction, microscopically bacteria were identified into positive or negative, cocci or bacilli, rodor spiral. Biochemical analysis was carried out using different tests. The results were analyzed using Bergey’smanual of systematic bacteriology. Many different types of bacteria were isolated from water samples that helped inclassifying the lakes and knowing the bacterial loads of each lake.
