Abstract :
The study was carried out in Al Kamleen
City in Gezira State in central Sudan, to evaluate the
drinking water quality by looking into physicochemical
and micro-biological aspects. Ten samples of water were
collected randomly from different sites in the city and
examined for electrical conductivity (E.C.), turbidity,
pH and total dissolved solids (TDS). The samples were
also examined for the presence of microorganisms
during winter, summer and autumn. Results showed
that most of the parameters examined were within the
limit of the Sudanese standards and Metrology
Organization (SSMO, 2015) and the World Health
Organization (WHO, 2007). Some samples were
contaminated by bacteria including coliform,
Escherichia coli and salmonellas and the higher
contamination was in autumn.
