Detection of contamination of water wells with E. coli in Hama Governorate regions

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the pollution water of the wells from which the animals were irrigated with E. coli bacteria in the farms of Hama governorate. The study was included 312 samples of water wells used in animal husbandry farms. the experimental method and cross-sectional study were used to analyze the study results. The study confirmed that the prevalence of bacterial pollution with E.coli 12%, 86.5% with total Coliform bacteria. The study confirmed the mentioned pollution proportions reached to critical point comparing with Syrian measures of water specifications or the world health organization (WHO) of water specifications. The study confirmed that water population via E.coli bacteria increased with depth of water wells and specifically with those increase than 20 meter using the Poisson regression model .As long as most of the farms were located in the rural areas of Hama, it is recommended that rural and urban services should be equated so as not to make a significant difference in water resources and health services
