“…All these and other were confirmed from various stages ( Raw , Filtrate , Treat, Net ).The results clearly indicated that chlorination is efficient against the bacteria in water , drinking water must be free some components which may affect the human health . Such component include minerals, organic substances and pathogenic microorganisms (Haydar et al , 2009).…”

Some biological parameter of raw water as the source and treated water in Abassa station,Abu hammad,Sharkia Governarate such as algal count,protozoa,total bacterial count,total coliform and fecal coliform .These results showed that the algal count of algae in treated water ranged between 9 to 36 algal count /1L ,no protozoa , no total coliform and no fecal coliform found in treated water while the count of total bacteria found in treated water ranged between 0 to 2 CFU/1ml.Different bacterial isolates which isolated from different stages in abassa water station (Raw , Filtrate , Treat, Net) and identified by using some biochemical tests such as Staphylococcus spp,E.coli spp,Proteus spp,Salmonella spp,Bacillus spp,Micrococcus spp,Klebsiella spp .Using natural extracts such as moringa olifera seed,okra seed , clove seed and ginger seed as antibacterial activity against some isolated bacteria and results showed that moringa seed extract was the most effective extract as antibacterial activity with concentration 1.0gm/50ml give 28 mm inhibition zone diameter against Stapylococcus spp.

A comparative study of various parameters of drinking water quality in Shahroud city, Iran: tap water, well water and bottled water

The physical, chemical and microbial quality of bottled water, tap water and water supplied from wells in the city of Shahroud was compared. The results of the analysis showed that the measured parameters, except in minor cases, were of national and international standards. There was no significant difference between the quality of bottled water and tap water, as well as bottled water and water available in water supply resources in the city of Shahroud. Regardless of the area in which the study was conducted, it was found that there was no need for developing other types of water treatment systems such as bottled water and domestic water treatment systems. In many cases, since bottled water is exposed to intense sunlight during the transport process, there could be a leakage of plastic monomers from the bottle wall into the water in hot or cold conditions, which can endanger consumer health. Tap water supplied from the water supply resources in the city of Shahroud was found to be completely safe and posed no threat to consumer health.

“…Generally, high pH value causes corrosion of metallic pipes which is associated with serious health problems due to the presence of heavy metals in drinking water leached inside the pipe distribution systems through which it passes. WHO guidelines [16] recommend a desirable limit of 6.5 to 8.0 for the pH of drinking water [17]. A little variation from this range is usually not associated to health issues but the value ranging from 10 to 12.5 have been documented to cause swelling of hair fibers and skin problems, and stomach disorders.…”

Study of long and short-term impact of hydro-meteorologically induced extreme flood on groundwater from well is a baby science, yet to grow and groom. This article focuses on the environmental impacts of the worst Pakistani floods on water quality of affected areas, Charsadda and Nowshera districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province which experienced a disastrous flood in its record due to torrential monsoon rains in late July 2010. For this purpose, consuming water products from 10 main sources (tube wells), 10 intermediate points in water supply distribution system and 10 consumers' ends in 30 selected sites of flood affected areas were collected and analyzed for 12 key factors. Most of the parameters with respect to the standard limits of WHO guidelines indicated contamination in all samples that are directly available from tube wells as well as the one supplied through damaged pipe distribution system. This result becomes more fatal in the presence of microbial contamination and makes water risky for domestic consumption. A concrete policy addressing post-flood environmental effects on life and human health should be devised and strictly followed. Individual cases must be assessed from a basinwide perspective in order to make sure that environmental concerns are judiciously and properly represented in flood planning and risk management decisions.
