abstract={Regular assessment of river water quality is required to monitor the effectiveness of various schemes declared by municipal authorities in the direction of cleaning river Narmada. Though efforts have been made by the responsible authorities, the expected results are yet to be achieved.  Water samples tested on selective and differential media indicate presence of potentially pathogenic microbes in high numbers such as <i>Pseudomonas</i>, <i>Salmonella</i> and <i>Shigella</i>, other than <i>E.coli</i>. Drug resistant forms of enteric bacteria were not detected in present research. Yeast and mould forms were also obtained in test samples where <i>Candida</i>, <i>Aspergillus</i>, <i>Penicillium</i> were at considerable levels, though dermatophytes were infrequently obtained.},
