Are springs safe? Effect of water quality on public health.
PETROUŠKOVÁ, Zuzana
Bachelor thesis aims at water quality in eleven springs and wells usually considered as a source of drinking water with superior quality exceeding the quality of drinking water from municipal sources. Springs and wells were monitored for one year and microbial, physical and chemical parameters were determined according to the Czech authorities' requirements. Microbial contamination was recorded in eleven cases mostly during dry summer. Thus dry hydrological conditions should be considered as a critical factor for water quality. Chemical parameters were exceeded in nitrate concentration at one site, probably due to agriculture in spring catchment. Water quality exceeded required values in 64%, thus the required frequency of water quality monitoring is not sufficient and water quality could exceed requirements during parts of a year.
