Physico-Chemical and Bacteriological Characteristics of Hand-Dug Wells and Boreholes Water Quality of the Vina Division, Cameroon

Abstract: Background: Limited access to safe drinking water and lack of information on water quality in the sub-urban and rural regions of Cameroon has contributed to regular outbreaks of diarrheal diseases. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the bacteriological quality of drinking water in the Vina division. Methods: A total of 193 water samples were collected from unprotected boreholes, unprotected wells and unprotected clay pots and analyzed physico-chemically including pH, turbidity, total dissolved sol… Show more

“…Physicochemical or biological characteristics are commonly employed to assess the health of water resources. Several studies in Cameroon have focused on, assessment of pollution and ecological risk of heavy metals in urban water sources, Associated Health Risks linked to Drinking-water, Assessment of the Physicochemical and Biological Water Quality in a Sub-urban Area in urban, peri-urban areas [14,10,7], [15][16][17][18][19], [5]. The present work is therefore part of the ongoing efforts applied to the geo-specific physico-chemical Water Quality assessment peri-urban area in Cameroon.…”
