Water is an essential resource for life on earth and is the source of several microbiological and toxicological diseases. The Aguégués one of the communes of the lower valley of Ouémé-Benin are very exposed to these type of diseases. Pathogens swarm in a highly polluted environment because of the peculiarity of this predominantly aquatic area. This is what justifies this research, which aims to assess the quality of drinking water for the populations of the Commune des Aguégués. The research technique focused on the field survey which made it possible to identify the different sources of water supply used by the population. Likewise, the physico-chemical and bacteriological quality of these water sources has been determined. These research techniques have made it possible to discover that the population of Aguégués uses several sources of water. Apart from the recommended sources (National Water Company of Benin and Village Water Supply) the populations use other sources of water. These are rainwater consumed in the rainy season by 97% of the households surveyed, surface water used by 78.26% of the population, especially during flood periods for various uses. Physico-chemical and bacteriological analyzes have shown that apart from SONEB waters only available in the districts of Zoungamey and Houédomey, the other sources of water have parameters which do not comply with WHO standards. This justifies the prevalence of diarrheal diseases in the study environment, which represents the second cause of consultation in health centers.

Mafikeng, the capital of the North West Province, receives water from two sources, namely the Molopo eye and the Modimola dam. Once treated, the potable water is mixed and supplied to the city via distribution systems. This study was designed to assess the quality of drinking water in Mafikeng and also to determine whether the water from the two sources has an impact on the mixed water quality. Physico-chemical parameters and bacteriological quality (faecal coliforms (FCs), total coliforms (TCs), heterotrophic bacteria and Peudomonas spp.) was monitored at three drinking water sites weekly for 4 months. The results revealed that the physico-chemical quality of the water was generally acceptable. The pH ranged from 5.7 ± 0.18 to 8.6 ± 0.14, the temperature ranged from 18.3 ± 0.69 to 25.1 ± 0.69 °C and the total dissolved solids (TDS) ranged from 159.9 ± 22.44 to 364.4 ± 12.44 mg/l. These values are within the target water quality range for drinking water as prescribed by WHO, Department of Water Affairs and SANS 241. What is of concern was the microbial quality of the water. FCs, TCs, heterotrophic bacteria and Pseudomonas spp. were present in some of the treated water samples. The most significant finding of this study is that all drinking water samples were positive for Pseudomonas spp. (>100/100 ml).

In Morocco, the quality of water gathered in dams is deteriorating considerably due to different sources of pollution. One of the consequences of this situation is the presence of nutrients , particularly phosphorus and nitrogen, in the water. This, however, indicates an advanced state of eutrophisation of waters. This phenomenon causes an imbalance in the ecosystem with an anarchic development of seaweeds and an intense consumption of oxygen at the bottom of lakes. The present study aims to present the results of the optimization of the choice of the pumping area of the waters of the BAB LOUTA dam in TAZA region, Morocco. This dam is the dam that provides the city of TAZA with drinking water. The results of physico-chemical analyses (dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity, Manganese, pH, and the temperature) were taken according to a vertical deep profile for a duration that spreads from March 2016 to March 2017.

Safe drinking water is an essential ingredient for good health of both human beings and animals. In developing countries, microbial contaminations of drinking water is a major public health issue and are responsible for causing diarrhea, giardiasis, cholera, salmonellosis, dysentery and gastroenteritis. According to WHO, approximately 1.1 billon people drink unsafe water globally and around 88% of diarrhoeal diseases reported are caused due to drinking of unsafe water. The objective of this study was to determine the bacteriological quality of different sources of water in Orathanadu, Thanjavur district, Tamil Nadu. A total of 42 water samples were collected randomly from different sources including borewell, pond and supplied municipal water in different regions of Orathanadu, Tamil Nadu and the samples were analyzed for total viable bacterial count and total thermotolerant coliform count. Results suggest that pond water sources were contaminated with thermotolerant coliforms suggesting poor protection and sanitary practices prevailing in the area. This problem can be rectified by constructing feces around water sources, regular maintenance and supervision followed by proper disposal of human and animal wastes are recommended. Keywords: Drinking water, microbial quality, Thermotolerant coliforms, Total viable bacterial count

Introduction: Safe water is a precondition for health and development and is a basic human right, yet it is still denied to hundreds of millions of people throughout the developing world. Water-related diseases caused by insufficient safe water supplies, coupled with poor sanitation and hygiene, cause 3.4 million deaths a year, mostly in children. Methodology: The present study was conducted on 1,317 drinking water samples from various water sources in Amritsar district in northern India. All the samples were analyzed to assess bacteriological quality of water for presumptive coliform count by the multiple tube test. Results: A total of 42.9% (565/1,317) samples from various sources were found to be unfit for human consumption. Of the total 565 unsatisfactory samples, 253 were from submersible pumps, 197 were from taps of piped supply (domestic/public), 79 were from hand pumps, and 36 were from various other sources A significantly high level of contamination was observed in samples collected from submersible pumps (47.6%) and water tanks (47.3%), as these sources of water are more exposed and liable to contamination. Conclusions: Despite continuous efforts by the government, civil society, and the international community, over a billion people still do not have access to improved water resources. Bacteriological assessment of all sources of drinking should be planned and conducted on regular basis to prevent waterborne dissemination of diseases.
