CAS correspond to the modalities of supply different from the public systems and have been monitored by the Program of Surveillance of the Water Quality for Human Consumption, aiming at the health protection. The free chlorine content (FC) reported with the sample Identification (N,N-Diethyl-1,4-phenylenediammonium - colorimetric) and 3703 bacteriological results (enzyme substrate technique - Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater (2005), IN the 102 municipalities covered by the (GVS 29) and 30 - Jales - SP (GVS 30) collected from 2011 TO 2016, were evaluated according to MS ordonnance No. 2914 of December 12, 2011. Of the 3670 samples from GVS region 29, 1648 (44.9%) were in legal disagreement in at least one of the parameters: FC and Escherichia coli being 1558 (94.5%) by FC and 148 (9.0%) by Escherichia coli. In the 33 samples (0.9%) from GVS 30, 3 (9.1%) were in disagreement with FC and 7 (27.5%) total coliforms, and 127 (12.6%) disagreed. (21.2%) was evidenced by coliforms, due to the inadequacy of the FC and the presence of fecal contamination indicators in the analyzed samples Results revealed the vulnerability of the water consumed by communities that use the CAS.

El análisis microbiológico básico del agua comprende la determinación de coliformes totales y fecales. La ausencia o presencia de los coliformes fecales en el agua define su potabilidad. El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en el diseño y ejecución de un esquema de comparación de dos técnicas para la determinación de coliformes en aguas, a partir de modificaciones aplicadas sobre la técnica de referencia de Número Más Probable (NMP) derivada del Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. Específicamente, las modificaciones incluyeron el tipo de medio utilizado en la fase presuntiva de la técnica y el uso de incubadora de aire, alternativo al baño de maría en la fase confirmatoria. Simultáneamente, se comparó el efecto del uso de equipo volumétrico tipo micropipeta automática calibrada o pipetas de vidrio estériles calibradas. Para tal efecto, se utilizaron muestras de agua artificiales, elaboradas con material del laboratorio e inoculadas con una cepa de Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 así como muestras ambientales. La metodología alternativa tiene un rendimiento superior solamente cuando el nivel de inóculo en las muestras es bajo. No se determinó ninguna diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los dos sistemas de medición volumétrica.

Results from statutory testing of private water supplies in nine Public Health Laboratories in England were compiled, and the effects of supply class, source, treatment and location on water quality were examined. A total of 6551 samples from 2911 supplies was examined, over a 2-year period, of which 1342 (21%) samples, and 949 (33%) supplies on at least one occasion, failed current regulations for Escherichia coli. Total coliforms, including E. coli, were detected in 1751 (27%) samples from 1215 (42%) supplies. The percentage of samples positive for E. coli was highest in summer and autumn, and lowest in winter. Samples taken from larger supplies and from boreholes were less frequently contaminated than those from other sources. Chlorination, filtration or UV light treatment improved the bacteriological quality of supplies, but still resulted in a low level of compliance with the regulations. The public health implications of the study are discussed.

Giardia spp. e Cryptosporidium spp. são protozoários patogênicos de transmissão fecal oral de veiculação hídrica, que causam vários problemas de saúde, como doenças gastrointestinais associados com consumo de água contaminada. Devido à escassez de dados sobre a ocorrência destes protozoários em águas superficiais no Sul do Brasil, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a presença de cistos e oocistos na água bruta das estações de tratamento de água no município de Blumenau, SC, Brasil. Para a pesquisa dos protozoários foi utilizada a metodologia de filtração em membranas de ésteres mistos de celulose, seguida por reação de imunofluorescência utilizando o kit Merifluor®. Para as análises microbiológicas, empregou-se a metodologia do “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater”; para as análises físico-químicas foi utilizada sonda multiparâmetros. Cistos de Giardia spp. foram encontrados em 23,19% das amostras e oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. em 7,24% do total de amostras analisadas (n=67). Todas as amostras analisadas apresentaram contaminação por Escherichia coli e 11,76% apresentaram valores de turbidez da água bruta acima do recomendado. Nas análises da turbidez da água tratada 23,52% apresentaram valores acima do preconizado pela Portaria 2914/2011. A detecção de protozoários patogênicos na água bruta das estações de tratamento de água aponta para a importância de adoção de medidas preventivas, como a proteção de áreas de mananciais e tratamento adequado do esgoto doméstico objetivando reduzir os riscos de transmissão de protozoários por meio da água de consumo humano na região de Blumenau, SC, Brasil.

Nesse trabalho, foi analisada a qualidade da água em níveis bacteriológicos para consumo humano e demais usos em reservatórios denominados Tanques de Pedra nas comunidades rurais do Semiárido Paraibano: KM 21, Campina Grande (Agreste paraibano)-PB, e Pedra Redonda (Curimataú paraibano), Pocinhos-PB. Como critério de escolha das comunidades, considerou-se a importância dos reservatórios para a população, haja vista serem o principal reservatório para captação de água da chuva e armazenamento. A qualidade da água foi analisada a partir de sete coletas com a determinação dos parâmetros físico-químicos e microbiológicos. A metodologia aplicada foi o método enzimático de substrato definido Colilert. Para as análises físico-químicas, utilizou-se 24 parâmetros identificados pelo Valor Máximo Permissível (VMP). Os resultados, para parâmetros microbiológicos e físico-químicos, estão fundamentados na Portaria 2914/11 do Ministério da Saúde. Utilizou-se registro fotográfico para obtenção de imagens dos reservatórios. Os resultados mostraram que a qualidade da água das comunidades encontrava-se comprometida, tendo em vista que se encontrava infectada nos níveis bacteriológicos (Escherichia coli e Coliformes totais) e físico-químicos para cor e turbidez, sendo estes parâmetros utilizados para consumo humano. Assim, concluiu-se que, nos casos da utilização do recurso hídrico para usos múltiplos da água, pode haver utilização, porém com algumas restrições. Por fim, é válido destacar que os tanques de pedra são o maior provedor de água para as famílias de ambas as comunidades, por este motivo a análise da qualidade da água deu-se para este tipo de reservatório dado a sua importância aquífera e social.    A B S T R A C T In this study, the water quality was analyzed for bacteriological levels for human consumption and other uses in so-called reservoirs Stone Tanks in rural communities Paraibano Semi-Arid: KM 21, Campina Grande (Agreste Paraibano)-PB, and Pedra Redonda (Curimataú Paraibano), Pocinhos-PB. As a criterion of choice of the communities, it considered the importance of reservoirs for the population, given as the primary reservoir for capturing rainwater and storage. The water quality was analyzed from seven collections with the determination of physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. The methodology applied was the enzymatic method of substrate defined Colilert. For the physico-chemical analysis, we used 24 parameters identified by the Maximum Permissible Value (MPV). The results for microbiological and physico-chemical parameters are based on the Ministry of Health Ordinance 2914/11. We used photographic record to obtain images of the reservoirs. The results showed that the water quality of communities found compromised, considering that was infected in the bacteriological level (Escherichia coli and Coliforms totals) and physico-chemical for color and turbidity, these parameters being used for human consumption. Thus, it was concluded that in cases where the use of water resources for multiple uses water can be used, but with some restrictions. Finally, it is worth noting that the stone tanks are the largest water provider for the families of both communities, for this reason the analysis of water quality was given for this type of reservoir given its importance aquifer and social.

Bottled Mineral Water

The purpose of this test was to evaluate the physicochemical (ammoniacal nitrate, nitrogen nitrate, nitrogen nitrite, pH, orthophosphate and turbidity) and microbiological parameters (Escherichia coli and total coliforms) of mineral water samples bottled trademarks and compare the results obtained with Brasilian Ministery of Healty Ordinance 2.914/11. For this purpose, it was used trademarks mineral water bottled sold in pet 300 and 500 ml bottles. For microbiological analysis it was used Colipaper (Alfakit®), and all of them the analysis of physicochemical parameters was used Ecokit II (Alfakit®). From the five mineral water bottled samples, all were within the physicochemical parameters determined by Ordinance 2.914/11. In the microbiological findings, only one sample presented Escherichia coli. Therefore, all the analyzed brands meet the required physicochemical parameters of water quality for human consumption, except brand A, which did not meet the microbiological parameters. The results demonstrates the need for confirmatory tests performed by laboratories qualified to attest the result obtained, as well as the need to implement more effective monitoring by the responsible agency for monitoring the water quality for human consumption.

Sampling Points

This study aimed to evaluate the potability of drinking water in ten municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, distributed in rural and urban areas, with three different sources: springs, shallow wells, and deep wells. The water quality parameters analyzed from 2017 to 2019 were: pH, temperature, apparent and true color, turbidity, electrical conductivity, total alkalinity, total hardness, nitrate, total phosphorus, total iron, fluoride, biochemical oxygen demand, total coliforms, and Escherichia coli. A macroscopic analysis was also conducted in the surrounding of sampling points. According to the Brazilian and the WHO (World Health Organization) guidelines, some of the analyzed variables, in some sampling points, were in disagreement with the current both guidelines, which are pH, apparent color, turbidity, total iron, total coliforms, and Escherichia coli. The surveillance showed that the deeper the water is abstracted the less are natural and anthropogenic interferences in physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics of the water; and the protection of the location where the water is abstracted improves its quality. Nonetheless, for the sampled waters it is necessary a disinfection process for posterior human consumption.
