“…Corrosion may cause permeability of the hand pump such that soil particles seep into the water, therefore causing high turbidity levels. 14 In present study all water samples were within TBS and WHO (2008) standard except for Konde ya micheweni, Tumbe chwaka, Makangale jiwe moja, Maziwa ng'ombe mbokoni, Shumba mihogoni and Msuka taponi ( Table 2). The value of turbidity from analyzed samples range from 1.16 to 25.6NTU respectively higher turbidity levels than the WHO recommended guidelines.…”

This study focuses at determining physicochemical and microbial properties, some selected heavy metals, anions and coliform bacteria in hand-dug wells and boreholes drinking water sources in Micheweni-district of Pemba Island, Zanzibar. Water samples were collected from 24 hand-dug wells and boreholes during dry season (December, 2015) and wet season (April, 2016) and analyzed for physicochemical parameters including pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, turbidity and heavy metals and anions analyzed were Cd, Fe, Pb, NO 3 − , SO 4 2− , PO 4 2− and Cl −. Total coliform and fecal coliform were analyzed. The analysis was done according to standard methods for water examination and reported based on the WHO prescribed limit for drinking water and TBS standard. The range of levels of parameters for boreholes and hand-dug wells respectively were: pH: 6.8 to 8.3 and 6.9 to 8.3; temperature: 27.3 to 30.1°C and 27.1 to 30.

“…These counts were less in sampled borehole water in Abuja compared to that reported by [39] in Eyaen community Area of Edo State, Nigeria; [43] in Uli, Nigeria. In this study, few pathogens of public health such as Salmonella typhii, Aeromonas spp and Escherichia coli were isolated from river, borehole and well water sources.…”

“…Before water can be described as potable, it has to comply with certain physical, chemical and microbiological standards which are designed to ensure that the water is potable, safe for drinking thus studies have been conducted to ascertain these parameters in varying drinking water sources [27][28][29][30][31][32], well water [33][34][35][36][37], borehole water [38][39][40][41][42][43], lake [44], packaged water [45][46] and stream/river water [47][48]. It on these bases that this research is conducted to determine the qualities of drinking water sources in Idu district, Abuja, Nigeria.…”

Abstract-Diseases caused by contaminated water consumption and poor hygiene are among the leading cause of death in children, the elderly and people with compromised immune system. The present study aims to assess the drinking water quality of some selected drinking water sources in the chosen study area using water quality index (WQI). Samples of drinking waters were collected from four different sources-river, sachet (packaged), borehole and well in Jabi, Abuja, Nigeria for physicochemical and bacteriological analyses using standard methods. With the exception of pH, river water had the highest content of all the physicochemical parameters examined. Some of the physicochemical parameters such as temperature and pH determined in this study were mostly within the World Health Organization (WHO) standard. The bacteriological analyses revealed that the highest total viable counts of 1.54 (0.12) x 10 2 (cfu/ml) were obtained in the river sample while the least values of 0.03 (0.00) x 10 2 (cfu/ml) were obtained in the sachet water. Three bacterial isolates of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas spp and Aeromonas spp were isolated from well water while Pseudomonas spp and Proteus spp were isolated from borehole water. All other bacteria were isolated from the river. The study demonstrates that the safest drinking water source in Idu district, Jabi, Abuja is the sachet/packaged water while the least safe is the river water due to the presence of significant opportunistic pathogens. The results of this study are beneficial for water quality management and could be used for low-cost effective water quality assessment in Jabi.

“…Similarly, out of 49 isolates of sediment 23 were Gram-positive cocci and 18 were Gram-negative cocci while 5 were Gram-positive rods and three were Gram-negative rods ( Table 3). Similar studies by using Gram's staining technique were used by various workers for studying different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria [13,14,15].…”

Datte-Da-Talab, a subtropical temple pond of Jammu region is situated near Birpur at 32 o 39′50″ N and 74 o 57′10″ E just 17 kms from Jammu city. This pond is extensively used by number of pilgrims for drinking, bathing and various religious activities. The study was carried to analyse water for physico-chemical status for a period of one year (May, 2011 to April, 2012 and along with Bacteriological analysis. A total of sixty seven isolates were obtained by using streak plate method and further studied by Gram's staining technique. Among the isolated bacteria 18 were further studied for biochemical analysis and the result revealed the presence of Staphylococcus sp., Streptococcus sp., Shigella sp., Escherichia sp., Enterobacter sp., Salmonella sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp. Comparison of bacterial count results, showed that the sediments are more productive source of micro-organisms and contains higher quantity of bacteria than pond water. A good number of bacterial count and the presence of Escherichia, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas indicate significant level of microbial pollution of the pond. During the study period it was found that average value of physical and chemical parameters of pond water and that of sediments support the bacterial growth and flourishment. So, the present research work provided a baseline data to generate better restoration and conservation programme as this pond has lot of religious and therapeutic importance.
