BACTERIOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL EVALUATION OF WATER SAMPLES FROM UNDERGROUND WATER STORAGE TANKS IN UMUDURU, ISU NJABA COMMUNITY
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This project aims to assess the bacteriological and physical quality of water samples obtained from underground water storage tanks in Umuduru, Isu jaba Community. The study provide valuable information about the microbiological safety and physical characteristics of the water, which can aid in determining its suitability for domestic use. contamination, pH, turbidity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen levels be Various parameters, including microbial evaluated to assess the overall water quality. The findings from this study help identify potential health risks associated with the water source and quide appropriate measures for water treatment and management. The biochemical characteristics of the isolates on Table 4 showed the occurrence of Salmonell spp. and Escherichia coli in sample A. sample B showed the presence of Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus spp., while sample C showed the presence of Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Bacillus spp
