Assessment of Water Quality from the Mani River, the Water Source of the Yalenzou Water Supply System in N'Zérékoré Prefecture, Guinea
Abstract
High concentrations of chemical elements and bacteria (enteropathogenic bacteria) in water can cause waterborne diseases that are potentially dangerous to humans without prior effective treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical and bacteriological quality of the water from the Mani River and the Yalenzou water supply system in order to establish the occasional presence of contaminants. Water was sampled from March to May 2025 (towards the end of the dry season and the beginning of the rainy season), which corresponds to the increase in surface water. Results showed significant differences (P
