Abstract

Water quality is essential for maintaining good health, and preventing and controlling various diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the quality of drinking water from three water sources in the region of Targovishte - drinking water from the water supply network, water from a mineral spring, and spring water from the village of Razboyna. The investigated water samples from the Targovishte region comply with the controlled physicochemical parameters on the drinking water quality: colour on the Rublev scale, smell, turbidity, pH, oxidability, general hardness, chloride content, nitrite, sulphate, and iron. The results showed that the waters comply with all controlled microbiological parameters on drinking water quality: determination of Escherichia coli and coliform bacteria; determination of enterococci; determination of sulphite-reducing anaerobes spores; determination of the total number of aerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria; determination of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
