Water Quality Index and Microbial Population Assessment for Ground Water
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 7, No 3 (2018) pp. 60-62
Abstract
Pollution of water sources have become a common problem these days, be it ground water source or surface water sources. The most important and major usage of ground water is for irrigation unfortunately groundwater is susceptible to pollutants that may enter into the subsurface ground water by runoff. Presence of microbes in drinking water is now common problems as majority of the ground water sources are being substantially polluted. the physico chemical and microbial properties of water was studied and was found that the treated water sample showed a better water quality rating than the raw sample. E.coli are indicators of microbial pathogens it indicates the presence of fecalcontamination in the water.
