In the present investigation, the mean average value (mean ± SD) of the stream temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD 5), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total coliform (TC) and faecal conform (FC) were noted as 17.737 ± 0.199 °C, 7.117 ± 0.650 mg/L, 170.4 ± 50.3 mg/L, 7.7018 ± 0.0325, 18.50 ± 2.33 ?S/cm, 46461 ± 10311 MPN/100 mL and 33103 ± 5863 MPN/100 mL, respectively. Based on results of comparison of data with WPCR, it is seen that waters of Saricay Stream at the sites 1, 2 and 3 belonged to Class 4, for parameter BOD 5 and faecal coliform and belonged to Class 3 for parameter total coliform. We conclude that there is a great potential risk of infection of waters from the Saricay Stream. © by PSP Volume 19-No 5a. 2010.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPhysico-chemical and microbiological parameters; Saricay Stream; Water qualityArticle195 A9869902-s2.0-77954302279N/A
