Contaminated stream water in a polluted environment has negative impact on both the<br/>people and the environment itself. Such is the situation of Magada stream water, which<br/>through sewage pollution has been contaminated especially with fecal contamination.<br/>The stream becomes a concern for the people of Magada community when they started<br/>complaining of symptoms of ill-health whenever they pass through the water. This<br/>brought the observation of the problem. An investigative study was now designed to<br/>know the pathogenic of microorganism that could be causing the symptoms of ill-health.<br/>Also an interview was conducted with the people of the community when passing<br/>through the water. The result revealed the bacterial organisms that are pathogenic in the<br/>water, such as staphylococcus, Escherichia coli etc. Many ill-health symptoms were<br/>reported in response to the questions from the questionnaire. Symptoms such as itching<br/>rashes, peeling of the skin that could be caused by probable staphylococcus species. The<br/>study was conducted as saying that the stream is containing the pathogenic organism and<br/>should be treated from time to time. The people in the area should be educated in health<br/>awareness to manage the problem. |
