The results showed that there are 61 species related to 30 family, the highest number of species were recorded in Site 22 ( 52 species), while the lowest number of species were recorded in Site 6 (28 species).

The dominance family were Poaceae, Cyperaceae , Potamogetonaceae , Haloragaceae then Lentibulariaceae (13,11,8,7,5)% respectively, Shannon and N2 diversity indexes confirm that the biodiversity of aquatic plant increasing with downstream, and the number of submerged plant species were more than other form of life in Al-Kufa River while the lowest number of species was floating life form of aquatic plants.
