here is the situation. A male had masturbated in some area in the still water.Unknown to them, group of ladies came to swim in the river. Is there a possibility that one of this gets pregnant provide that the water is suitable for sperm cells life

Sperm can live in water, but the temperature of the water is a big factor. Sperm live longer in warm water. Further, the sperm concentration would be very very low in a body of water such as a river. While I suspect there may be a slight possibility of someone getting pregnant in the situation you asked about, it is a very very very slight possibility and more likely an impossibility.

Yes, it is absurd and wierd.First of all,rivers are usually not still.Also the women would have to be naked and also be very still and very close to the place where the male masturbated ,the dilution factor would come into play right away,the temperature of the water would kill most of the sperm immediately.The sperm would have to find the vagina,swim thru the cervix,up the fallopian tubes and penetrate the ovum wall.Possible, yes;probable,very highly impossible.

Absolutely yes. Sperm can live for several hours in the enviornment, depending on such factors as health and age of the male who produced them, composition of the semen, and ambient temperature. The average ejaculate has millions of sperm; even when spread out in a body of water, concentrations can remain relatively high, and only one sperm is necessary to fertilize an egg. However, as time passes the probability of this happening rapidly decreases, and most bodies of water would have pH levels that could kill the sperm before that occurs.

I do not know the answer to your Q, but I think the answer would be No!
Firstly, it is hard enough for a woman to get impregnated even when a male penetrates properly and delivers his sperm ready to swim up the appropriate channels.
Secondly, as I have sprogged into water, it appears the sprog doesn't like water per se, even though a high percentage of its contant may be water.
It tends to shrivel up,and not mix well with it.
Further, in rivers and other places, there tend to be other 'mixes' into the water and microbes etc., of which you are unaware.
Anything extra, like that, tends to work against the natural processes and natural paths of delivery.

No, the cold water would kill them and the current would carry them away. Any motion in still water can cause a type of current.

It sure is possible and with DNA he could end up paying child support for 18 years.
Go somewhere else!

The chances would be infinitesimal to the point of being nonexistent.
