2 Introduction w Objectives: w Check water distribution system in the university and determine contaminated point in the system to be treated. w Suggest appropriate treatment to eliminate the possible contamination

3 Introduction w Limitation of the Study: w To investigate drinking water distribution system in Islamic University by detection of primary indicator pathogenic bacteria of 220 sample and perform three chemical tests including dissolved oxygen, nitrate and chloride on each sample and PH measurements as physical parameter

4 Literature review

5 Introduction of water contaminations Microbial contamination w There are four main types of micro organism that can contaminate drinking water: w Bacteria w Virus w Protozoa w Fungi

6 Bacterial Contamination Water borne Disease can caused by different type of bacteria. Most of bacterial pathogen may found in distribution system illustrate in this table.

7 Major diseaseorganism Typhoid feverSalmonella typhi Paratyphoid feverSalmonella paratyphi gastroenteritisSalmonella typhimurium Gastroenteritis(salmonell osis) Other salmonella sp. Bacillary dysentery Shigella choleraVibro cholerae gastroenteritisEnterovirulent E.coli gastroenteritisYersinia enterocolitica gastroenteritisCampylobacter jejuni Legionnaires disease, Pontiac fever Legionella pneumophila

8 Virus Contamination Water may also play a role in the transmission of virus with different mode of action such as: Hepatitis A and B virus, Rotavirus and others. w Others include: w Poliovirus : poliomyelitis w Enteric adenoviruses: gastroenteritis w Hepatitis E : liver inflammation

9 Protozoa Contamination: Giardia lamblia, cryptosporidium parvum and Entamoeba histolytica are the major intestinal protozoal pathogens that contaminate drinking water.

10 Primary Indication of Contamination The organisms most commonly used as primary bacterial indicators of faecal pollution are the coliform group which. are: w Member of Family Enterobacteriace. w Non spore forming bacteria w Can ferment lactose at 35-37ºC Total coliform bacteria

11 w The total coliform bacteria group includes both faecal and environmental species which include: w Escherichia coli. w Citrobacter. w Klebsiella. w Enterobacter.

12 Bacterial fecal indicator should be: Abundant in faeces and sewage. Absent or at least very small in number from all other sources. Capable of isolation and identification easly.

13 Total coliform bacteria w These Organisms can survive and grow in water distribution system, they can be used as: w Indictor of treatment effectiveness. w To assess the cleanliness and integrity of distribution system and the potential presence of biofilms.

14 Faecal coliform w E. coli is the predominant coliform in faeces and the only member of the coliform group exclusively associated with faeces. w Other organisms can also be used as indicator of faecal pollution such as: w Faecal streptococci. w Clostridium perferingens.

15 Biofilm in Distribution System w Many different microbes have demonstrated the ability to survive in the distribution system with some possessing the ability to grow and produce biofilms. w Water distribution system biofilm is a complex mixture of microbes organic and inorganic material accumulated amidst a microbially produced organic polymer matrix attached to the inner surface of the distribution system.

16 Steps of biofilm development: w Trace organic material deposits on water/solid interface forming conditioning layer which allow initial attachment of material cell. w Planktonic (free floating) bacteria approach the pipe wall and become entrained with in the boundary layer where flow velocity falls to zero result in reversible adsorption.

17 w Some of reversibly adsorbed cells may permanently adhere the cell to the surface and become irreversibly adsorbed. w Biofilm bacteria excrete extra cellular polymeric substance (sticky polymers) which : w Hold the biofilm together. w Act as nutrients for bacterial growth. w Protect bacteria from biocides.

18 Chemical contamination chemical contaminant of drinking water are often considered a lower priority than microbial contaminants. w Nitrate: w Excessive concentration of nitrate in drinking water can be hazardous of health, especially for infants. w Methmoglobinemia result from high concentration of nitrate. Major chemical contaminant:

19 Chloride w Chloride in drinking water is generally not harmful to human beings until high concentration are reached, although it may be harmful to some people suffering from heart or kidney disease w Other health effect chemical contaminants: w Fluoride w Sodium w Arsenic w Lead

32 Result and Discussion

33 Microbiological Analysis

34 Microbiological analysis Total plate count (TPC) w The range of TPC in tested samples varied from as low as 1000CFU/100ml to TNTC,with the exception of 14 samples which did not show any growth. w TPC value increased were water flow from main sources to finished taps.

35 Total plate count (TPC) w Some pathogenic bacteria with distinctive appearance were isolated and defined from some samples, such as Serratia and Pseudomonas auroginosa Red colonies of Serratia were observed on NA in filter reservoir sample

36 Total plate count (TPC) Green colony of Pseudomonas auroginosa observed on NA in different samples

37 Total plate count (TPC) w It observed that highest levels of TPC correlated with the age of building; older building such as (teeba, admission, medical service, student and academic affairs buildings) showed higher levels than new building. TPC count CFU/100ml AdministrationTEEBACLBuilding 1000400000Minimum 142*10³500*10³40002000Maximum 31.5*10 ³303.4*10³1285750Average

38 Total plate count (TPC) w During the study period, some reservoirs in these building were found open or their cover not completely secure which indicate that there is a shortage of inspection to prevent such contamination that may result from dust or other sources (e.g., animals, insects and birds).

39 Total coliform (TC) w Samples collected showed that approximately 76% were contaminated with total coliform with a range varying from one CFU/100ml to TNTC. The rest of the samples (24%) were negative for Total coliform.

40 Total coliform (TC) w 23% of all reservoirs sample were contaminated with TC w 100% of all filter reservoir samples were contaminated with TC w 33%of all municipality reservoir samples were contaminated with TC

41 Total coliform (TC) w Highest main sources contamination observed in well. The following table illustrate total coliform levels in the three main sources in the university during the study period.

54 Result After Treatment

55 Result after treatment w Randomly collected samples were re-tested to measure the efficacy of water treatment and the integrity of the distribution system w Treated units were retested showed an elevation of total coliform and total plate count per 100 ml, and related changes in nitrate concentration.

56 This elevation may be due to many reasons including: w Inadequate or insufficient treatment were applied w Biofilm sloughing from pipes. w Disinfectant resistant may be another cause of increase the contamination after treatment.

57 Tc of ref samples before and after treatment

60 Conclusion and Recommendation

61 w It is not meaningful or practicable to strive for a sterile drinking-water network devoid of all microorganisms. The principal objective is to remove pathogenic organisms from the water supply and prevent contamination during distribution system. w Chemical, physical and microbial parameter should meet WHO and Palestinian standard to avoid adverse health effect that may cause for consumers.

62 Conclusion and Recommendation w The result in this research showed high average number of heterotrophic plate count and total coliform in drinking water and this is not safe for students and workers consumption as its levels of contamination are high and exceed by far the allowable limits, and this poses a health risk for the consumers. w The High regrowth of heterotrophs and total coliform occurring after chlorination indicates the inefficiency of chlorination steps or the levels of chlorine in treated water were low.

63 Conclusion and Recommendation w The occurrence of bacterial regrowth within distribution system is dependent upon a complex interaction of chemical, physical and operational parameters. No single factor could account for all the coliform occurrences, all these parameter in devising a solution to regrowth problem must be considered.

64 Conclusion and Recommendation w Sanitary inspections should be carried out regularly by specialist worker on all water distribution system in university and not merely the points were analyzed. w Periodically maintenance of Reverse Osmosis purification system should be taken to check the efficiency of R\O in filtration of water to prevent microbial contamination that may be occurred in the distribution system.

65 Conclusion and Recommendation w Educate students for good use of the refrigerators which is used for drinking in the university and use it carefully with good hygiene to prevent contamination that may be occur inside
