Abstract
were recorded in well, river and reservoir water systems. There was a strong positive correlation between the total bacteria count and physico-chemical parameters, which suggested that the parameters influenced bacterial growth. The occurrence of these bacterial geniuses in the water sources are considered capable to cause potential health consequences for the consumers. Therefore, proper purification and treatment of domestic water sources of the Samaru community should be ensured before being used by the riparian users.
