RESUMEL'eau est une ressource naturelle precieuse et essentielle pour de multiples usages, mais sa qualité est confrontée à plusieurs problèmes dont la pollution liées aux actvités anthropiques, d'où la nécessité de contribuer à l'amélioration de la qualité de l'eau de consommation. Ainsi, une étude transversale, descriptive et analytique, qui a porté sur 162 ménages choisis de façon aléatoire, a été réalisé afin d'avoir une idée sur les risques sanitaires liés à l'eau de consommation.

A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study of 162 randomly selected households was carried out in order to get an idea of the health risks associated with drinking water. Wells and boreholes water samples (15 wells and 10 boreholes) were collected and analyzed using the standardized routine methods described by French Association for Standardization. The results showed that no household has a drinking water supply network. Of those whose source water is from boreholes and wells, O. Y. SOKEGBE et al. / Int. J. Biol. Chem. Sci. 11(5): 2341-2351, 2017 2342 94.74% drink boreholes water and 56.86% drink well water. The majority of households treat water before consumption and chlorination is the most commonly used mode of treatment. On households with both a water source and a latrine, 62.96% of households have latrines within 15 meters of the water source. The microbiological analyses showed that the water samples analysed are contaminated to varying degrees by the microorganisms selected by the criteria. Total germs and coliforms resulted in high levels of non-compliance. Appropriate measures shall be taken for the disinfection of such waters before their use.
