Study of the seasonal dynamics of species and populations of microorganisms in the water intake in the process of drinking water purification

Summary

Provision of the safety and high quality of drinking water is an urgent task in under current conditions. Water quality monitoring in relation the sanitary and microbiological indicators is essential to maintain high quality drinking water abstracted from water sources for the needs of the population. The results of the studies of the seasonal dynamics of the sanitary and microbiological indicators, microbiological environment of the Volga River, as well as the analysis of the quantitative indicators of the population of microorganisms in the water intake are presented. Suggestions are given to improve the analysis of the data obtained and upgrade the technological process of water treatment.
