Description
Summary:This study evaluates the quality of drinking groundwater in the city of Moussoro using geochemical, bacterial, and multivariate statistical methods. Access to safe drinking water is a major concern for the population in these regions, as the distribution of this resource is unequal across continents and is often affected by human activities, making it vulnerable. The analysis revealed two categories of water: potable and non-potable. The presence of pollutant indicators, such as Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and total coliforms, was observed in most samples. This presence indicates water contamination and requiring monitoring and treatment before it is consumed by the population. Overall, most of the physicochemical parameters comply with the World Health Organisation guidelines for drinking water. However, the concentration of ammonium (NH4 + ) was high. Pollution elements such as ammonium (NH4 + ) and E . coli , indicate that human activities also contribute to water mineralisation. The study could ensure sustainable access to safe drinking water, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life in Moussoro.
