Egg Removal

The paper presents data on total and faecal coliform removal and on intestinal nematode egg removal achieved in the Al-Samra stabilization ponds in Jordan during the winter period December 1986 to March 1987. A total retention of 34 days in the series of 10 ponds was able to achieve complete removal of nematode eggs at the pond temperature 12-15°C but was not able to meet the WHO guideline value for faecal conforms of ≤ 1000/100 ml. In addition to retention time having a positive effect on faecal conform die-off, it was shown that surface organic loading, pond pH, BOD5 concentration, and depth, influenced the rate of faecal coliform die-off. It became apparent that interactions existed among the operational and environmental parameters but that the simple time-and-temperature-dependent model for faecal conform die-off was no longer appropriate.

Specific Bacteriophage

Over a 12 month period F-specific bacteriophages, faecal coliforms and enterococci were compared as microbial indicator organisms for the quality of a wastewater treatment (oxidation pond) system. Results suggest that enterococci may be the most useful indicator for oxidation pond systems.

The discharge characteristics of faecal coliform are very different from those of physico-chemical pollutants. The antecedent dry period factors count a great deal for faecal coliform contamination in urban stormwater.

Total coliform (TC) and faecal coliform (FC) bacteria were analyzed in drinking water of Khairpur city. Ninty samples were collected from main reservoir (source), distribution line and consumer taps. pH and residual chlorine of water samples were also determined. For bacteriological analysis inductively membrane filtration (MF) method was used for total coliform (TC) as well as faecal (FC) coliform bacteria. All samples were found contaminated with total coliform (TC) and faecal coliform (FC) and the counts were higher than the maximum microbial contaminant level (MMCL) established by World Health Organization (WHO). It was observed that pH was within the limits of WHO standard (6.5-8.5). The residual chlorine was not detected in any sample of drinking water. Bacteriologically the water quality of the drinking water is unsatisfactory.Keywords: Coliform, Escherichia coli, Water quality, Contamination, SanitationDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjm.v24i2.1266
