1.3Statement of Problem
In
urban communities drinking water are sourced from well, spring, rain
etc. These water before taken are not going any form of treatment, these
has caused the high rate of water borne diseases. Ikeh et al (2002)
explains that the outbreak of water borne diseases in Enugu State is due
to the effect of organic waste on the biological properties in water
and these have resulted to deaths of the infected individuals as a
result of poor response by medical practitioners to this problem. He
further states that outbreak of water borne disease is gradually become
an epidemic if adequate steps are not taken to combat it. Apart form
urban communities people also in rural areas do not have good source of
water this has also caused increased in rate of water borne disease.
These statement thereby prompts the need for an analysis to be conducted
on the effect of organic waste on water biological properties in Enugu
State.
1.4Hypothesis
Ho: Organic waste can affect the biological properties of water
Hi: Organic waste cannot affect the biological properties of water.
1.5Significance of the Study
The
results of the organic waste on biological properties of water, water
sourced from Abakpa, Emene, Obiagu Abakpa would determine the bacterial
load and organisms responsible for contamination of water close to
organic waste. These would determine the prevalence of water borne
diseases in these area and would ensure that prevention techniques such
as boiling water, adequate treatment of water borne disease . Thereby
ensuring the control for it emergence.
1.6Limitation of the Study
Lack
of finance in purchase of reagent and material were non-existence in
the laboratory, and this affect the source of information thereby
limiting the scope of the project work. This project work is limited to
determine the effect of organic waste on physical, chemical and
biological properties of water in Enugu State

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]Effect of organic waste on water biological properties in Enugu metropolis Enugu State were carried out using four (4) samle (Obiagu, Abakpa, Emene, UUwani). The water sample were analyzed for various chemical and microbial parameter. The bacteriology techniques. The micro organisms isolated and characterized include eight (8) bacterial while fungal (4) genera. The bacterial isolated were klebsilla, pseudomonas, Escherichia, staphylococcus, proteus and bacillus and the fungal isolated were Asper ... Continue reading---
