Description 177-182
Surface water
quality deterioration around the Kavaratti island was studied through the
determination of the traditional indicators of faecal pollution, total
coliforms (TC), faecal coliforms (FC) and Faecal streptococci (FS) along
with supplemental indicator bacteria, Vibrio cholerae (VC), Vibrio
parahaemolyticus (VP), Escherichia coli (EC) and Shigella species (SH). Cluster analyses were
performed to differentiate the bacterial loading of different area. Helipad
region indicates a separate cluster with the abundance of all bacteria (TC of
740CFU/mL, FC of 290CFU/mL, EC of 120CFU/mL, SH of 160CFU/mL, VC of 650CFU/mL,
VP of 190CFU/mL and FS of 120CFU/mL). Significant
positive relationship was observed between total nitrogen and indicator
bacteria (R² > 0.844).
