The Nworie River in Owerri is heavily affected by human activities, leading to a proliferation of harmful microorganisms. These microorganisms thrive due to domestic practices such as washing, open defecation, and improper waste disposal, rendering the water unsafe for consumption. The presence of these pathogens poses serious health risks, including cholera and gastroenteritis. To ensure safety for domestic use, it is crucial that the river undergoes purification processes before being utilized by the local population.
