The aim of this study was to analyze physicochemical parameters and total microbial indicators of river water in Tapung Kiri river. Water samples were taken from 4 sampling sites in July 2013. The results showed that the range of TDS, turbidity, electrical conductivity, and nitrate in the water samples were 9-21 mg/L, 3.89-41.1 NTU, 17.72-42.0 µs/cm, and 0.112-0.508 mg/L, respectively which were below of the threshold value. Temperature, pH, DO, and phosphate content range were 27-29oC, 4.75-6.30, 3.36-3.96 mg/L, and 0.089-0.235 mg/L at the threshold value based on PP No 82 2001. The level of Coliform and E. coli contamination in the water samples were 0.4-18×10 3 CFU/mL and 0.1-4×10 3 CFU/mL. The level of total bacteria contamination was found in all samples ranged from 0.43-4.6×10 4 MPN/mL, while the fungi contamination was 0.1-0.3×10 3 CFU/mL.
