Stephen T. Odonkor, Kennedy Kwasi Addo · 2013

Summary. This study tested 122 water samples from various sources in Ghana's Dangme West district to assess microbiological contamination. Dams and rivers showed the highest bacterial counts, exceeding safe drinking water standards. Contamination levels differed significantly between rainy and dry seasons. The findings highlight urgent needs for improved rural water management systems and innovative approaches to protect public health in developing country water supplies.
