%X The physicochemical and microbial status of NworieRiver was investigated. Resultsobtained for physiochemical status showed that aside pH, conductivity, aluminium and iron at some of the sampling points, other physicochemical parameters investigated in this study were blow WHO standards. Pathogenic organisms such asKlebisiella sp.,Vibrocholerae, Proteus sp., and non-pathogenic organisms such as Eschericha coli,Bacillus sp., were among the organisms identified. The pathogenic organisms found in the river water could be agents of water borne diseases. The present study has shown the physicochemical and microbial status of NworieRiver
