Abstract
A report of microbiological characteristics of the potable water samples taken from the region of Samothrace island during 2009–2010 is presented here. During the study a number of samples from selected samples sites at regular intervals was examined. Conclusions relative to the water quality of springs, water tanks and supply network, as well as the possible reasons for water quality problems are presented in the study. The water is easily infected during its transportation from the source to the internal water supply network and finally to the consumer. The condition of the water supply networks is a factor which contributes to the water quality.
Highlights
Water is essential for life, but it remains a most important vector of illness
The ensuring of good quality drinking water is a basic factor in guaranteeing public health, the protection of the environment
This is observed that the ground water get polluted drastically because of increased human activities[1,6]
Summary
The ensuring of good quality drinking water is a basic factor in guaranteeing public health, the protection of the environment. During last decade, this is observed that the ground water get polluted drastically because of increased human activities[1,6]. Number of cases of water borne diseases has been seen which a cause of health hazards[3,4,5] So, basic monitoring on water quality has been necessitated to observe the demand and pollution level of ground water [2].The objective of the current study is to present the quality of the drinking water supply sources in the county of Samothrace island, as well as the comparative evaluation of microbiological analysis results for the last two years (2009–2010). The facts resulting from the research saw that the uncontrolled increase of the free range animals’ number on Samothraki island, caused increase of the microbial load
