Abstract
Two hundred potable water samples were garnered from myriad rustic areas of Pakistan. These were perceptible by fifty illustrative individually from Khyber Pukhtoonkhuwa (KPK), Punjab, Sindh and Baluchistan. From the bacteriological appraisal, it was corroborated that indispensible turfs of Pakistan such has Sindh and Khyber Pukhtoonkhuwa aqua founts was hexed with boisterous total colony counts i.e. (38%) and (40%) on average for samples enthralling >5700 bacterial count. Abiding preposterous intensity of fecal E.coli, Enterococci, Streptococci and other pathogens cardinally Pseudomonas, Clostridia pose inimical predicament by ameliorating recrudescence of water borne contagion. The deemed magnitude of sullied potable water is (52%) which according to World Health Organization (WHO), this grade of water is bacteriologically ominous and government and citizenry should apprehend worthwhile and optimistic approaches to cope the egregious circumstance of the country.
