The bacterial case of groundwater samples from Homs Governorate was studied to determine the bacterial load, Twenty-eight groundwater samples were collected from various areas (including areas of the western, northern and eastern governorates of the governorate) between March and July 2017. Where they were collected in sterile glass containers after opening and running the water for 5 minutes to avoid any external contamination. In sterile glass containers for the necessary analysis, and each sample was attached to its own database, where the samples were subject to the appearance, color, odor and microbiological examination.
All the samples studied were odorless, with a clear view and transparent color, except for the sample belonging to the area of the parcels. It had a foul smell, a yellowish color and a slightly turbid look, while the pH of all samples was within the permissible limits Where ranged from pH(7.02-8.56).
The number of microbial colonies exceeded the limits allowed in each sample (Dherej- Sheen- Mzaini), due to the presence of bacteria in groundwater as a result of bacterial contamination.
The number of colonies in the samples ranged between( 0-175cfu / 100ml) and exceeded the limits (permitted according to the specifications of the World Health Organization.
