The Microbiological And Physic-Chemical Analysis Of Water Samples From Selected Boreholes In World Bank Housing Estate Umuahia, Abia State.
ABSTRACT
Water is a common resource quite abundant in nature but
unfortunately not readily available to man in the form desired. Water is
fndamenta1ly important to all plants, animals and man. (Ajewole, 2005). Water
is essential for life and life evolved in water. Water is significant due to
its unique chemical and physical properties. Water is made up of two atoms of
hydrogen and one of oxygen and because of the unique nature of the binding;
water is a solvent for many minerals and can be referred to as a universal solvent.
It can exist in three states as liquid, gas (at 100°C) and as solid (at
freezing temperature of below — 4% (Nelson, ci at., 2002, Mbagwu, 200(. Water
is the matrix of life. All biological reactions occur in water and are the most
versatile chemical 1brm'd within any metabolizing cell. (Uriah, 1998).
