摘要：The paper incorporates the outcome of the study carried out in Gorakhpur city to test the presence of faecal coliforms (E.coli) in ground water samples using HS bottles. The study was carried out in April, 2013 and 60 samples were collected from India Mark-II and shallow depth hand pumps located in different areas of Gorakhpur city. The samples were also collected from the hand-pumps located near water logged areas. The testing of the samples indicated the contamination of ground water by faecal coliforms in shallow depth as well as India Mark-II hand-pumps. It was found that most of the samples taken from hand-pumps located near water logged areas showed the presence of faecal coliforms (E.coli). The measures for strict quality assurance in the installation and operation of India Mark-II hand-pumps and water quality surveillance by local body and government agencies with the involvement of community participation have been suggested.
