Water is the resource that sustains all life on earth and is a key element of sustainable development. Water pollution occurs when unwanted pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in water bodies and also to the natural biological communities. The direct effect of water pollution results in increased amount of microbial population. In these microbes some species are useful and some are harmful for human being. Present study deals with the isolate and identify microflora species at different levels of Khan River of Ujjain District.Micro floral study of the river also shows that there are number of microbial population present in it, which are all pathogenic and not only harmful for the human health but also for aquatic flora and fauna. The results indicated that therewere different types of bacteria distributed throughout different sampling stations as Pseudomonas (37.79)%, Salmonella (15.74)%,Klebshilla (11.81)%, Enterobactor (7.08)%, Streptococcus (7.34)%, Actenomycetes (5.24)%,and finally E.Coli (5.24)%. We concluded that Pseudomonas were the most dominant followed by salmonella bacterial strain in the sample.
