Phisico-Chemical And Microbiological Analysis Of Borehole, Stream, Sachet And Well Water Sources In Abayi Isingwa In Isialangwa North, Abia State, Nigeria.
ABSTRACT
The physiochemical
properties (pH, conductivity, alkanlity, hydrogen carbonate, total dissolved
solids, dissolved oxygen, total hardness) of twelve (12) samples of water from
four sources (boreholes, wells, streams and sachet) water in Abayi Isingwa of
Abia state were determined. The results ranged from 5.4-6.7 for pH,0.03-3.9 for
conductivity, 132-197.8 for total hardness, 6.72-104 for alkanility, 165-208
for hydrogen carbonate, 122-48 1 for total dissolved solids and 5.2-6.22 for
dissolved oxygen. Water samples had physical parameters that were not within
the permissible limit. The pH of the well water and sachet water were below the
value for WHO standard. Microorganisms identified in some of the water samples
were (Escherichia coli), (Kiebsiella pneumonia), (Faecal streptococci), and
(Enterobacter aero genes). The samples most contaminated were well water.
Following the world Health Organization guideline for portable water, borehole
and clean water were acceptable for drinking while well water and sachet water
were not.
