The river water is used mainly for drinking, washing and swimming purposes. Water samples were collected from five sites (Pilloor, Effluent, Sweage I & II, Bhavanisagar reservoir) and theresults obtained were compared with WHO and EP standards for drinking and recreational water. In the present investigation station III and IV (which is Sweage I & II respective points) showed more numbers of microbes were present which cause the deadly diseases to human being as well as in aquatic, terrestrialorganism due the sewage discharges from the nearby towns. But in the case of lower stream (Bhavanisagar reservoir) that the counts of microorganism present in the reservoir was slightly reduced. The major groups of microorganisms were isolated and identified are E. coli, P. aerugionosa, E. aerogenes, S. aureus, Salmonella sp, Bacillus sp, Proteus sp, Klebsiella sp, ...
