Assessment of Pathogenic Microbial Presence In Ground Water At Sreepur Sub-district, Bangladesh

A total of 30 groundwater samples were gathered within the vicinity of the Sreepur sub-district in the Gazipur District in Bangladesh, during July 2023. These samples were collected from different locations in the Sreepur sub-district. The assessment of groundwater indicated its suitability for both drinking and irrigation purposes. On the other hand, surface water quality exhibited variations depending on the specific sampling sites and water origins. Among the samples obtained from surface water, noteworthy observations included the highest concentration of Gram-positive bacterial count found in water sourced from the MC Bazar, measuring 112 cfu/ml, followed by the Chatir Bazar, Mawna, and others with 101 cfu/ml. The contamination of the MC Bazar and Chatir Bazar was attributed to the discharge of domestic water from residences. The potential ramifications of pollution progression in the smaller area of Gazipur District could profoundly impact the environment and human health in the times ahead. However, we found deadly pathogenic bacteria in the groundwater of sreepur, Gazipur which is alarming. Consequently, there is a strong call for a comprehensive and detailed assessment of this situation.
