Abstract Tap water samples were collected from various areas of the Governorate of Basra including the areas (Al-Saybah, Abu Al-Khasib, AL-Zubair, AL-Medina, Al-Asmai, AL-Ashiar (AL-Timemeia), AL-Juwenena, and Al-Burjeseah). Samples were collected in May to June, 2017. The results were recorded for isolate and identified bacteria from tap water. Six types of microbes were found in the examined samples with frequencies reach to 50 colonies, Bacillus, E. coli, Klebsiella, Candida, Staphylococci, and Hyphae fungi. The study shows that, the area of AL-Asmai was most polluted of microbes than other area while the Abu-AL-Khasib was less polluted. Samples of contaminated water were treated using short wave-Germicidal (UV-C) light to kill or inhibit microbial growth. The results were discussed and analyzed. Top Keywords Pathogenic microbes, tap water, occurrence, short wave-Germicidal Ultraviolet-C radiation. Top |
