Abstract :

 

Water is essential constituent for all types of living beings.The quality of drinking water is an important environmental determinant of health. 30 samples collected from both rural and urban areas from various sources were processed by H2S Strip Test and Direct Eijkman Test. The unsatisfactory samples were processed further for identification of pathogenic organisms. Among 16 samples collected from rural areas, 50% samples were satisfactory and 50% were unsatisfactory. Among 14 samples collected from urban areas, 42% were satisfactory and 57% were unsatisfactory. Public taps form major source of satisfactory samples in rural areas and unsatisfactory samples in urban areas.If there is proper treatment, the water quality will improve. The protected water supply through public taps needs improvement.
