Bacteriological Evaluation Of Api And Uhere Stream Water In Opi, Nsukka L.G.A
ABSTRACT
Unsanitary water has devastating effects to human health. This study focuses on the bacteriological evaluation of two stream; Api and Uhere in Opi Nzukka L.G.A of Enugu State. Samples were collected of about 05:00am in sterile water containers and analysed for bacteriological safety by the multiple tube fermentation technique. Coliform count was done by the most probable number method. Isolates from Api and Uhere were identified by standard techniques on the basis of their gram stain, morphology and biochemical characteristics, results showed high coliform contamination with Api Stream having a viable count of 8.0x103 cfu/ml. Both streams had most probable number (MPN) values beyond the WHO recommended range. Water should meet different qualification depending on the particular sources.
