Abstract

Introduction: Bacteria, being one of the most successful living forms and a result of phenotypic flexibility may be found in practically any environmental matrix. Pathogenic bacteria can also be found in water, rendering it unsafe to drink because they are responsible for a wide range of illnesses in humans, animals, plants, and other living things. 

Objective: The main aim of this study is to find out the physicochemical and environmental bacteria screening of river Suswa. 

Methods: Water Quality Index (WQI), are the variables most commonly used for the assessment of water quality: Dissolved Oxygen, pH, coliform, specific conductance, alkalinity, chloride, etc. 

Results: In this study, we found excess contamination of metals and organic and non-organic matter. 

Conclusion: Water is one of life's most basic needs, yet it's becoming increasingly scarce and polluted. Researchers must develop a technique for improved wastewater treatment of water to successfully remove pollutants while also avoiding contamination of water sources. Before they reach the water sources, improve solid waste management and agricultural chemical control
