Abstract

Water is vital for life on Earth and is one of the most important resources on our planet. Microbial examination of water is essential for assessing its safety and suitability for human consumption. Standard microbiological methods, including total coliform and E. coli detection, were used to assess contamination levels. Results highlight the importance of routine monitoring to ensure water safety and public health protection. This analysis helps in identifying pollution sources and evaluating the effectiveness of water treatment methods. Ensuring microbiological water quality is crucial for preventing waterborne diseases like cholera, Typhoid fever and dysentery and for safeguarding public health.
