    • 1.2. Statement of the problem

      A common feature of the water-based pathogens is the ability to grow to problematic concentrations within biofilms on pipe walls and sediments, particularly during periods of water stagnation and warmer conditions; therefore, control below some critical concentration is necessary to manage these environmental pathogens. Hence there is need for comparative analysis of sources of water and water borne diseases.


      1.3 Objectives of the study

      The major objective of the study is the comparative analysis of sources of water and water borne diseases.


      1.4 Research questions

      (1) What are the various sources of water?

      (2) what are water borne diseases?

      (3) what is role of sources of water on water borne disease outbreak?


      1.5. Significance of the Study

      The research gives a clear insight into the comparative analysis of sources of water and water borne diseases. It also gives a clear insight into the role of water sources in water borne diseases. This research also serves as a preliminary study in identifying the common microorganisms in different water sources that may be responsible for water borne diseases.

      1.6. Scope of the study

      The research focus on the comparative analysis of sources of water and water borne diseases.

    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Comparative examination of sources of water supply and water borne disease in Independence layout Enugu was carried out with a view to determine their levels of contamination of bacteria. The sources of water examined are tap water, well water and stream water. The questionnaire was used for the survey. Bacteria isolated from the water samples include coliforms especially Escherichia coli. Stream water and well water were found to contain bacterial isolates unlike the tap water that has none ...
