Description
Biachew Asmare and colleagues assess in 2026 drinking water quality in Debre Markos town in northwestern Ethiopia. Sixty-six samples came from boreholes, disinfection points, household taps, and storage containers in a 2024 study. Lab tests covered chemical traits such as acidity and nitrate, plus germ counts that signal fecal contamination.
Most chemical measures met World Health Organization guidance, aside from warm source water. Protective chlorine left in water fell below advised levels at sources, taps, and homes, though levels were fine right after disinfection. No harmful germ markers appeared at disinfection points, yet most tap and home samples carried coliform bacteria. Guarding sources, keeping disinfection steady, and treating water regularly are urged to close the gap.
