Abstract The ground water quality of Okobo Local Government Area was investigated. Sixteen boreholes (BHs) samples were collected from four zones (Okopedi, Ekeya, Ukwong and Okiuso) in Okobo. Standard analytical procedures used to analyze the physicochemical, bacteriological heavy metal parameters results compared Nigerian standard for drinking (NSDWQ). some physicochemical investigated within ...

This research aims to determine the effects of wastewater irrigation on groundwater quality west Girga, Sohag, Egypt. Twenty-six and one sewage-treated effluent samples were analyzed using standard methods for a range physio-chemical microbiological parameters. Surrounding plant, about 46% collected impacted by contamination, as indicated positive detections fecal coliform bacteria infiltrated ...

Introduction: Analyzing the health risk associated with the microbial contamination of seawater is necessary to ensure that there is not any threat to human or environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbiological quality of Caspian sea water using indicator bacteria. Some Physicochemical parameters were studied to assed their association with the contamination level of Caspian...

Soil treatment of wastewater has the potential to achieve high purification efficiency, yet the understanding and predictability of purification with respect to removal of viruses and other pathogens is limited. Research has been completed to quantify the removal of virus and bacteria through the use of microbial surrogates and conservative tracers during controlled experiments with three-dimen...

The fecal coliform populations found in the raw sewages and final sewage effluents of mechanical treatment plants, a long-term retention lagoon, shorter-term retention lagoons, a remote northern Canada river, and a heavily urbanized prairie river were examined for antibiotic resistance and the possession of R factors. It was determined that there was a decrease in the percentage of multiresista...

Lago de Colina (Colina Lake) is located about 180 km south of the city of Chihuahua (Mexico), and during the Semana Santa (Holy Week) vacation period its recreational use is high. The objective of this study was to quantify coliform and heavy metal levels in this water body before and after the Holy Week vacation period in 2010. Twenty sampling points were randomly selected and two water sample...

Fecal contamination of bedding has been associated with coliform mastitis caused by E. coli, while coliform mastitis caused by Klebsiella spp. is associated with wet sawdust and wood shavings.(1) Coliform mastitis has an average incidence rate of 15% to 20% in herds with low somatic cell counts (SCC) and is implicated in 30% to 40% of clinical cases. It is a common cause of fatal mastitis in ca...

Pasture runoff can contribute to elevated concentrations of nutrients, solids, and bacteria in downstream waters. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of vegetative filter strip (VFS) length on concentrations and transport of nitrogen, phosphorus, solids and fecal coliform in runoff from plots treated with cattle manure. Three plots with dimensions of 2.4 × 30.5 m were used....
