Water is one of the most important substances on earth. The importance of water in our diet is apparent as it helps the body to perform specific metabolic tasks and regulates our body temperature; moreover, water is unique as its density is similar to that of cell protoplasm. There is no doubt that water is everywhere and it is very important to our Earth and the life inhabiting it. Water also acts as the vector for many diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoa and worms. For water to be regarded as potable, it must be free from pathogens. It must not contain any other noxious substances such as chemical hazards including pesticides, insecticides or herbicides, artificial fertilizers or heavy metal ions. It should not have any unpleasant odor or taste. The diseases spreading through contaminated water are known as waterborne diseases. More than 2 million people die each year from diseases such as Cholera, Typhoid, and Dysentery that are spread by contaminated water or by a lack of water for hygiene. Waterborne pathogens are a leading cause of disease and death worldwide. Routine microbiological testing of drinking water supplies, recreational waters and environmental waters is essential for the protection of public health. The main work done under this experiment of microbial analysis was to detect different bacteria and fungi. Water samples from four different regions were collected and analyses. The four different regions were: Region I- Shrinagar extension and Region II-Marimata in Indore area. Hence, it is worth mentioning here that the water of Region III is more potable as compared to that of other region in terms of microbes present in it.
