Water quality assessment of River Nile has been studied in the Upper Egypt region between April 2011 and March 2012 to detect the correlation between physicochemical parameters and microbiological characteristics. Thirty six water samples

were collected during hot and cold seasons along the area extending from Tima to Dar-Elsalam cities, Sohag governorate, Egypt. Results indicated that the physicochemical parameters values increase significantly in the hot season than cold season. In addition, the bacteriological assessment for water samples indicated that most of studied locations

were contaminated with fecal coliform and pathogenic bacteria which were identified as Escherichia coli, Salmonella

spp. , Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Shigella spp. A difinit correlation between some physicochemical characteristics and some bacteria were also detected and explained
