Water is a natural resource necessary for all living organisms. In our research, the research material is water. As measuring points for sampling analysis are: measuring point 1 (Crna River near the village of Novaci), measuring point 2 (fifth canal exit of Bitola), measuring point 3 (fifth canal near the village of Kravari) measuring point 4 (fifth canal before flowing into the Crna River), measuring point 5 (Crna River before being mixed with water from the fifth canal), measuring point 6 (Crna River after mixing with water from the fifth canal) and measuring point 7 (Crna River near the village of Skocivir). In order to determine the quality of the water from sanitary-hygienic aspect the following microbiological tests have been made: determining the number of Escherichia coli with a membrane filtration method made according to the ISO 9308-1:2000 standard for water quality and determination of the number of Enterococcus with membrane filtration according to the ISO 7899- 2:2000 standard.
The number of types of microorganisms tested indicates an increase in the number of microorganisms in the canal (measuring point 2, 3 and 4) which, at the measuring point 6 (junction of Crna River with the canal), are transmitted in Crna River. And with that, not only the Crna River is getting polluted, but also the entire environment.
All this indicates that the cleaning of the canal and the watercourse should become an obligation before the competent institutions but also the obligation of each individual is to protect his environment.
Key words: microorganisms, contamination, environment, monitoring, wastewater
