Abstract Access to clean and safe drinking water is a fundamental human right, as recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in 2016.Surface water sources, especially rivers, are critical for human consumption, yet they remain vulnerable to contamination from bothnatural processes and human activities. Wastewater discharge, industrial pollutants, and climatic variations such as temperature andprecipitation significantly impact river water quality on spatial and temporal scales. Aquatic insects serve as reliable biological indicatorsdue to their sensitivity, diversity, and distribution, offering insight into ecosystem health and pollution levels. Traditional water qualityassessment relies on comparing measured parameters with established standards, while Water Quality Indices (WQIs) provide asimplified yet comprehensive tool to evaluate and communicate water quality. The development of WQIs involves interdisciplinarymethods, including mathematical modeling and artificial intelligence. Seasonal variations and pollution further stress aquatic life,influencing the reproductive success and survival of species like fish. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous water qualitymonitoring and the application of biological and computational tools to ensure sustainable management of freshwater resources.
