The effect of corrosion on physiocochemical and microbiological profile of surface water quality from River Udonwankwo, in Ikot Osurua was carried out using standard chemical and microbiological techniques. The results revealed the physiocochemical parameters of control and tested water to include pH, turbidity, Salinity for both samples, Acidity, electrical conductivity, TDS, DO, TSS, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, total alkalinity, chloride, nitrate, nitrite, iron, aluminium, selenium, copper, zinc, barium, fluoride, Sulphate and Phosphate (12.4 and 14.6 mg/l) respectively. Sample A recorded mean bacterial count (1.74 ± 0.04 x 105CFU/g), sample B (2.46 ± 0.04 x 105CFU/g), total coliform count for sample A MPN (82/ml) and sample B MPN (135/ml). Total fungal count for samples A recorded mean count (3.6 ± 0.07 x 104CFU/g) and sample B (1.2 ± 0.06 x 104CFU/g) respectively.
