Water parameters related to exceeded total and fecal coliform bacteria standards included turbidity, nitrate, chloride and pH levels. The highest explicit turbidity relationship... of occurrence probability exceeded the quality standards with total and fecal coliform bacteria 3.7 and 4.3 fold, respectively. Onsite hospital water treatment is needed to ensure safe conditions. The significant chemical parameters can be used as a rapid tool

    in eight watersheds in Eastern Thailand to quantify the temporal and geographical variation in total and fecal coliform bacteria. Descriptive statistics showed considerable seasonal, inter-annual, and geographical variation. In order to quantify this multi... on the bacterial concentrations. Urbanization was an important factor controlling concentrations of bacteria in rivers: we found that the proportion of urban area around a station had a statistically significant effect on log-transformed total coliform bacterial

    and ratios for clay-pot water filters. The clay-pots were prepared by combining clay with sand, coconut-shell charcoal, and rice-husk charcoal, at various ratios. The results indicated that all types and ratios could remove 100% of coliform bacteria... significantly different filtration rates (p>0.01). A ratio with a maximal filtration rate of 60:40(0.38 ± 0.28 mL/cm2/hr) was found to be suitable. The quality of filtered water was acceptable in terms of turbidity, coliform bacteria level, and Escherichia coli

    dependent. During the monsoon, water quality was often found with high coliform bacteria. Salinity problem was substantial, particularly during the early monsoon in the upper northern part. The dry-season water quality was even worse, exhibiting high... loadings of organic compounds, coliform bacteria, nutrient, and low dissolved oxygen. This poor water quality was found in Lam Takhong Sub-Basin and the lower basins—including the lower part of the main river, Huai Samran Sub-Basin, and Lam Se Bai Sub-Basin
