Introduction 783 million people lack access to safe water (United Nations, 2013) 2.5 billion people do not have improved sanitation (United Nations, 2013) 1.1 billion practice open defecation (World Health Organization, 2010) Most of these people live in rural villages such as Pueblo Nuevo, Nicaragua

Objectives of Study Test microbial water quality of hand dug wells in Pueblo Nuevo, Nicaragua Determine Sources of Contamination

Background on Nicaragua 1979 opposition to governmental manipulation—Marxist Sandinistas came into power (Central Intelligence Agency, n.d.) 1988 hurricane Joan caused more damage to infrastructure and economy (Central Intelligence Agency, n.d.). About 50% have access to improved sanitation (63% in urban areas and 37% in rural areas) (Central Intelligence Agency, n.d.) 20% without safe drinking water in Latin America (Pearce- Oroz, 2011) Government is slowly improving access to water and sanitation (Social Investments Funds)

Location Pueblo Nuevo is located on the Caribbean Coast

Cases of Illness in Pueblo Nuevo 2012 Water-related Diarrhea: 5,675 Cases Parasites: 2,850 Cases Pneumonia: 47 Cases Respiratory Infections: 8,750 Cases Injuries due to Weapons: 467 Cases Pregnancy Issues: 272 Cases *Provided by Dr.Alejandro Picado

Types of Wells Sampled Rope Pump Well Simple Well

Methods Compartment Bag Test (CBT) – E.coli Membrane Filtration & qPCR – Microbial source tracking markers: B.theta (human), M2/M3 (bovine) E. coli, enterococci

Compartment Bag Test

8 key steps to perform CBT 1. Prepare dilutions 2. Collect and record 3. Mix water sample with growth medium 4. Open and fill CBT 5. Seal 6. Incubate 7. Score and record results on data sheets 8. MPN chart for quality rating

Last Step: Decontamination Each bucket=13.4L 5 ml bleach per bucket Put rope etc. in bucket for at least half hour 0.05g Sodium Thiosulfate

Membrane Filtration Filtered L of well water

DNA Extraction and qPCR DNA extracted using QIAamp DNA mini kit (Qiagen) Platform used: Roche LightCycler ® 480 Real-Time PCR System with 96 well block

Results and Discussion Results of Compartment Bag Test and qPCR

Compartment Bag Test Results 32 wells total 87.5% of wells contaminated with E. coli Contamination ranged from MPN/100 ml Geometric mean 25.8/100 ml

Comprehensive Water Quality Rating

Average MPN of E. coli Relative to Depth and Elevation

Comparison of E. coli MPN between simple and rope-pump wells Geometric Mean t-Test, t=0.88, p = 0.19 Log-transformed t-Test t=-2.11, p = % Reduction in E. coli *Used MPN of 3 for lower confidence interval Similar to results seen in Gorter et al. (1998)—Using geometric mean overall 47% reduction of fecal coliforms seen in rope-pumps.

qPCR detection of molecular markers (No. sample tested: 31)

Conclusion Generally the well water was deemed unsafe in this small rural area in Nicaragua. The CBT made it possible to test in the field for E.coli contamination in a rural location where supplies and lab equipment was limited. qPCR analysis indicated bovine fecal pollution in the well water samples.
