ABSTRACT:This study assesses the groundwater quality in the South-East England. Borehole water samples were collected at different locations across 7 different sites in the South-East of England. 14 physicochemical and 2 microbiological parameters (E. coli and enterococci spp) of the groundwater were analysed. Results showed that although all the physicochemical parameters met the WHO and EC Water Directive (98/83/EEC) guideline values, the presence of E.coli and enterococci were detected in the entire sites except for one. The presence of these micro-organisms could be attributed to the proximity to the sewage treatment discharge which could have mixed with the ground water via seepage and intrusion of animal faeces into the groundwater.
Keywords:E.coli, Groundwater Quality, WHO, Assessment, Physicochemical Parameter.
