This research was conducted in the canal of Campus B Jakabaring Palembang in November 2021. The purpose of this study was to analyze canal water biologically at Campus B of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang, namely the MPN method on PCA and BGLB media dissolved in aquades. The results of the research on the PCA and BGLB tests for 24 and 48 hours, namely Coliform 1600 ppm, thus the canal water on campus B Jakabaring Palembang category D class which means very bad
