Description 501-507
In present study, the prevalence of enteric bacterial
indicators like Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Proteus, Klebsiella, Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus like organism in
water and sediment of Veraval coast were
studied at six different locations in three different seasons. Statistical
analysis of data showed that there is a significant increase in count in
September (Monsoon) as compared to January (post monsoon). It was also found
that the enteric bacterial count was higher in sediment than in surface waters
in harbour mouth and during monsoon season. A strong correlation of bacterial
counts with physico-chemical parameters was observed. Temperature, pH,
salinity, Dissolved oxygen (DO), Nitrite (NO2-) and
Nitrate (NO3-) showed negative correlation with the
bacterial counts whereas Biological Oxygen demand (BOD), Ammonia (NH4+
) and Phosphate (PO43-) showed a positive
correlation with the bacterial counts.
