Abstract

Physico-chemical characteristics of the water, including its Water temperature, color, odor, pH, total hardness, chlorides, sulfate, phosphates, sodium, BOD, COD, DO, TDS, TSS, total coliform, and water quality index, were measured at the sampling site after the water samples were collected. All samples were brought to the laboratory within a predetermined amount of time, they were sampled and analyzed. The environmental health of surface water is challenged by anthropogenic activities such the discharge of sewage and industrial effluent, recreational activities, excessive fertilization of soil, and the use of pesticides. The key issue that requires an immediate solution is the deterioration of water quality and the rapid depletion of water resources. Bio-monitoring is the use of biological organisms to analyze environmental changes that are typically brought on by human activity. The most recent tool for quick and accurate water quality assessment is biomonitoring. It not only improves the physicochemical and bacteriological properties, but also provides important information on the general soundness of a water body.
