There should be no microbes in healthy well water.
In order to understand whether there is any microbial contamination in drinking water, the presence of 'total coliform bacteria' is first investigated.
Coliforms are different types of bacteria that live in the intestines of warm-blooded animals and can be found in the physical waste of animals, their feces, and naturally in the soil.
The presence of coliforms generally indicates that source water has been contaminated with human or animal feces, which may also contain other bacteria, viruses and other disease-causing microorganisms. This pollution in spring waters cannot be noticed from the outside; That is, fecal coliforms do not cause any change in the taste or appearance of the water.
If coliform bacteria are detected in drinking water, the source must be investigated immediately. Drinking water contaminated with these microorganisms can cause gastrointestinal diseases accompanied by diarrhea and nausea. These effects are very diverse and are highly life-threatening, especially in children, the elderly and people with weak immune systems.
The presence of coliform microbes in drinking water is important even if they are not disease-causing microbes; It is a sign that animal or human feces may be mixed into the water. Underground well water, which has a high risk of mixing with sewage water, contains many microbes because it is not cleaned. The risk of contracting the disease is very high.
The presence of microbes in water can only be demonstrated by laboratory tests; It is not possible to tell whether there are microbes in the water by looking at its taste, smell or color. Well water analysis should be performed at regular intervals.
Water analyzes are carried out with modern devices in the Microbiology section of Nizip Commodity Exchange Laboratory. E.Coli coliform analysis and bacteria analysis in water can be performed by our expert engineers in a short time, obtaining accurate and reliable results.
