MICROBIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF GOMTI RIVER, LUCKNOW, INDIA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ENTERIC BACTERIA.

Nothing can replace water as the most vital natural resource we utilize on a daily basis. It is the most critical component of the earth's life support system, and life would not be possible without it. The world's population is growing at an alarming rate, making freshwater availability a significant problem for emerging nations like India. The environment is becoming out of balance due to pollution from point and non-point sources. To be fit for human consumption, water must be clear of all pollutants. High dangers to human health are increased by contaminated water systems. Gomati Taal, Madho, Tanda, Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh is the source of the Gomti River (25°30'N; 83°10' E). A bacterial evaluation of the Gomti River's several Ghats has been conducted in light of the pollution levels and how they affect human health. It has been explored how the existence of indicator bacteria affects other microorganisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
