What better gift of nature would be than good quality water? In order to assess the quality of water of Rawal Lake, following research was carried out. Rawal lake is a source of drinking water supplied to many areas of Rawalpindi and Islamabad’ the capital city of Pakistan. Water of this lake is being highly polluted by the local communities alongside the lake through solid waste dumping. Samples of surface water were collected, tested and analyzed in the laboratory on the basis of physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. The results showed uncertainties in many of the selected parameters. Microbiological analysis revealed high contamination of E. coli, fecal coliform and total coliform in the samples proving it unfit for drinking. It was found that the concentration of all physical parameters such as nitrates, chloride, pH and conductivity were within the normal limits. The level of heavy metals like lead, iron, chromium etc. was also found low. Turbidity at some points exceeded the maximum acceptable limit as per WHO statement.

Os intensos períodos de estiagem e pela concentração que a água adquire quando os níveis dos reservatórios estão baixos torna-se evidente a ausência da qualidade da água consumida pela população. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os parâmetros físico-químicos e microbiológicos da água para consumo no município de Itapiúna-CE. Estudo do tipo experimental, prospectivo, transversal e com abordagem do tipo qualitativo e quantitativo. Foram analisadas 4 amostras de 500 mL cada, uma do Açude Castro e de três locais escolhidos nas residências de pontos estratégicos de distribuição pela concepcionária, da água usada para consumo no município de Itapiúna-CE no mês de outubro de 2016. Para seleção das amostras foram adotados os critérios de inclusão: água do açude castro (Amostra A), e três amostras de residências, consideradas a água retirada diretamente do registro da Cagece, escolhidas aleatoriamente dos bairros do município. As amostras apresentaram cloretos alterados quando comparadas às quantidades estabelecidas pela Portaria 2914/2011 do Ministério da Saúde (MS). A respeito aos parâmetros como Sólidos Totais, Condutividade, Cloreto e Dureza, os valores também encontrou-se valores superiores. A amostra A (Açude Castro) obteve pH de 8.81 e apresentou alcalinidade devido a carbonatos (80 mgCO3/L) e a bicarbonatos (150mg CaCO3/L). Verificou-se que 50% das amostras apresentaram presença de coliformes totais e coliformes fecais, evidenciando contaminação da maioria das amostras analisadas. Contudo, de acordo com as análises realizadas, as amostras não obedecem ao padrão de potabilidade, tornando á água imprópria para o consumo humano. PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF WATER FOR CONSUMPTION IN RESIDENCES OF A TOWN IN THE SERTÃO CENTRAL ABSTRACT Factors such as long periods of drought and the physical and chemical characteristics of water influence in the quality of water consumed by the population, leading to health problems. This study aimed at evaluating the physical-chemical and microbiological parameters of water for consumption in the town of Itapiúna-CE. Four samples of 500 mL each were analyzed, one from Açude Castro and three from chosen places in the residences of strategic sites of distribution by the water company for consumption in the town of Itapiúna-CE in October 2016. For sample selection it was adopted the inclusion criteria: water from Açude Castro (sample A), and three samples of residences, considered the water withdrawn directly from Cagece register, randomly chosen from neighborhoods of the town. The samples present altered chlorides compared to the established quantities by the Consolidation Ordinance No. 5 of September 28, 2017 of the Ministry of Health (MS). Regarding the parameters such as total solids, conductivity, chloride and hardness, were also found higher values. Sample A (Açude Castro) obtained pH of 8.81 and presented alkalinity due to carbonates (80 mgCO3 / L) and bicarbonates (150 mg CaCO3 / L). It was verified that 50% of the samples presented total coliforms and fecal coliforms, evidencing contamination of most of the samples analyzed. So, according to the analysis carried out, the samples did not obey the standard of potable water, making the water unfit for human consumption.

Abstract DKI Jakarta is one of the provinces with the highest flood risk in Indonesia. 13 rivers divide Jakarta from upstream to downstream, one of which is the Ciliwung River. However, at this time, the Ciliwung River was asked to be one of the dirtiest rivers in the world. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of physical parameters (TSS), chemical parameters (BOD, COD, Total Phosphate), and microbiological parameters (Total Coliform, Fecal Coliform) in the Ciliwung River, along with the potential health disaster risks from various parameters studied based on literature review. The method used is descriptive quantitative with secondary data sources in the form of monitoring data on the water quality of the Ciliwung River, which was carried out for four periods in April, June, July and August at 21 points spread along with upstream to downstream. The results showed that the physical, chemical and microbiological parameters had passed the specified standard thresholds and had the potential for a public health disaster due to exposure to organic compounds and microorganisms in the Ciliwung River. Further efforts related to disaster need to be carried out in a Penta helix manner so that disaster risk reduction efforts can be carried out as a whole.

The contamination of vegetables by pathogenic microorganisms is directly related to the water quality used in their irrigation. Lettuce is the main vegetable consumed in Brazil and because it does not undergo any processing before its consumption, it is directly affected by the quality of the water used for irrigation. This study analyzed the physical-chemical and microbiological quality of water used in lettuce irrigation and possible microbiological contamination of lettuce. In relation to microbiological analyzes, high values were found for heterotrophic bacteria and total coliforms in weirs and vegetables. For fecal coliforms, in almost all water samples, the value found was above that established by the legislation. In lettuce, this occurred in three samples. No strong correlation was found between water and lettuce contamination. In relation to the physicochemical parameters analyzed, only the value of the turbidity in one of the weirs was above the threshold established by the legislation.

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the bacteriological quality of water sources in the two rural areas of Uganda using the compartment bag test (CBT). In total, 200 water samples were collected from 69 different water sources and processed within 6 h of collection. Positive and negative controls were processed each day together with water samples. Physical parameters were measured in situ. Descriptive statistics were used to generate mean, minimum, maximum, standard deviations and percentages. The results indicated that 29% of the water sources met the National Standards and World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines for drinking water. Sixty percent of the borehole, 44% of gravitational flow taps and 14% of roof rain water met the required standards. Of the open water sources, 75% of the rivers, 50% of open channels and 43% of unprotected dug wells plus 25% of protected springs and 9% of gravitational flow schemes had most probable number counts >100 Escherichia coli/100 mL of water. Most of the water sources in the study areas were not fit for human consumption without prior treatment. The CBT was found to be robust and easy to use in all field situations. The mean physical parameters of water sources were within the acceptable limits.
