HEY DEAR....
YOUR ANSWER⬇
Those floating things are nothing but fungi and algal growth. These include Spirogyra and tannins (phytoplankton) mainly which makes the water appear green, brown or even red in colour.
I HOPE YOU FIND IT HELPFUL.

Hey mate!
Here's your answer!!
Green patches are formed due to the algae that are present in the water bodies. Blue-green algae generally grow in lakes, ponds etc, when the water is warm and enriched with nutrients like phosphorus or nitrogen. Blue-green algae can grow very quickly in proper environmental conditions. They float to the surface, where they form floating mats. The green patches make the water murky and odourful and the presence of organisms making the water even more green and patchy.
