1.1. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE
I. To find out if well, stream, Tap water coutain pathogens.
II. To help the public to know the danger of drinking these water without adequate treatment.
III. To compare the microbial load of the water source and advice on safer source of water .
1.2.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM These source of water are contaminated through one
way or the other (i) The short falls in the distribution of treated
pipe borne water leads people to resort to alternative source of water

2) Also advice the eswc on quality of their product. For future nature modification of treatment methods
1.4.
LIMITATION Fewer sample were worked on because of lack of fund, the
survey is however limited to the bacteria flora of waters, and not all
organisms even on bacterial flora specification, the number of sample
culture were limited by lack of funds and culture media is expensive.
