The objective of this study was to determine the bacterial contaminations in drinking water samples collected form some rural habitations of northern Rajasthan, India.

Bacterial population in the coastal water of Orissa, up to 10 km from shoreline along 6 transects were observed during 2005-06 and 2006-07. Total viable counts (TVC), total coliforms (TC), faecal coliforms (FC), faecal streptococci (FS), presumptive E. coli, Shigella, Salmonella, Proteus/Klebsiella, total Vibrio, Vibrio cholera, V.

Thiruvananthapuram: Bacterial contamination poses a serious threat to the water quality in four major lakes in the State, a study conducted by the Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (CWRDM), Kozhikode, has found.

Physico-chemical and biological monitoring of groundwater samples of various wells situated near Rajaula village, Chitrakoot (Satna) Madhya Pradesh was carried out.

An assessment of the water quality of Mahanadi and its distributary rivers and streams, Atharabanki river and Taldanda Canal adjoining Paradip was studied in three different seasons namely summer, premonsoon and winter.

The objectives of this study is to assess the physico-chemical and biological quality of the Kodaikanal lake and to assess whether the lake requires bioremidiation programme.

Studies on the bacteriological quality of groundwater samples around the sewage farm in Muttathara-Valiathura area of Thiruvanathapuram district, Kerala was conducted during post-monsoon (November 2007) and pre-monsoon (April 2008) seasons.
