5.1 Conclusion
The present study concluded that untreated waters from dams, rivers and streams of the study area were not polluted in respect to physico- chemical assessment. However, bacteriological studies attributed untreated water was not fit for drinking purposes due to higher coliform counts, which require continuous monitoring and treatment process if the water is to be used for drinking and domestic purposes.
5.2 Recommendations
From the results of this investigation, there’s need to monitor the water quality from time to time to detect the actual source of contamination and also to pass the water through a form of treatment to prevent epidemic outbreak, since the values obtained are far above the WHO and SON guidelines for water intended for domestic use. There is need for pre- treatment before use for domestic purposes. Some steps and awareness programs must be put in place to educate local villagers to safeguard the community water resources and the surrounding. Open defecation must be totally kicked against as government should provide proper sewage systems in these locality. Non-governmental bodies can also device means to train the community members on Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS).

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]Hence, it is essential to check the quality of the available drinking water from various sources. In view of this present study was designed to analyze the microbiological quality of the available drinking water from various sources like food stalls, tea stalls, supply water, packaged water to facilitate the examination of level of contamination and finally hence the risk associated with their consumption. 1.2 Statement of the ProblemThe most common and widespread dang ...
