Abstract
Physico-chemical and bacteriological analysis of the two water falls were carried out. The results obtained were compared with EPA and WHO standards for drinking and recreational water. The water sources were within the standard set for pH, Total dissolved solids, Total solid, acidity, chloride and iron contents. For bacteriological analysis, the two samples did not comply with bacteriological standards because the total coliforms could higher than 1,300 MPN/ml, Vibrio cholerae counts and Salmonella - Shigella counts were also high. The pathogens in water for drinking and recreational purposes may pose a threat in public health and even other microorganisms that may also be present. The pathogens and other microbes are all concerned in gastro-intestinal water source diseases that usually affect man and aquatic lives at large.
