Abstract
Many people around the world struggle to get good drinking water and generating safe drinking water is thus very important for human development. Moreover, Water- borne diseases are recognized to be a great concern in many provinces over the globe. Studies concerning all forms of freshwater resources with special inference on the various contributing factors in water-borne diseases epidemiology and water pollution assume significance in this perspective. Thermotolerant coliforms including Escherichia coli were enumerated from the river water samples by employing the Manual on Analysis Microbiology. The same manual was also used to analyse the Total Coliforms. Statistical analysis of data was carried out by SPSS software version 20. The prominent role of major contributing factors in context with the chance of water pollution in terms of Total coliforms and thermotolerant coliforms has been validated. The seasonal changes in the quality of water with an increase in coliform counts during the monsoon season may affect the water treatment system set up for public distribution of drinking water. The findings can be used as a significant element in various activities that focus on the sustainable use of freshwater and diminishing the risk of waterborne diseases.
