Bacteriological Study of Drinking Water in South Indore City (M. P.)
Abstract: A bacterial activity in ground water depends on nature of water along with its substances and environment. It may be a carrier of a variety of water borne diseases, such as diarrhea, cholera, jaundice, typhoid and dysentery. The importance of clean water for health has long been recognized, yet it is still a problem around the world. Human faecal contamination is one of the major reasons for water diseases. In the present study only 11.88 %, 23.33 %, 15 % of drinking water samples were bacteriological unfit for drinking purpose, in rainy, winter and summer seasons respectively. Developing countries may find this test more appealing than the membrane filtration test or multiple tube fermentation tests recommended in Standard Methods for Water and Wastewater Treatment. (Pillai1999).
