Water quality deterioration has a great influence on the aquatic biota and the ecosystem of a river. The increase in suspended solids limits the light penetration which has major impacts on algae and macrophytes while nutrient enrichment can lead to the depletion of oxygen and subsequently fish kill [9][10][11]. Exposure to high turbidity and suspended solids impacts fish growth and increases the mortality of fish [12][13][14][15][16]. Hence, water quality monitoring is important in order to evaluate the quality of the river for the health of sensitive aquatic organisms. The baseline **data** is also useful in management decision for improving and protecting the environment.
