摘要
Evaluation of drinking water quality for Jenin district in Palestine was carried out for the years 1997, 1998, and 1999, respectively Only 53.1%, 85.4% and 69.6% of the drinking water samples tested for free chlorine residual, total coliforms, and faecal coliforms, respectively are within the limits of the Palestinian and International standards. The seasonal variation of bacteriological and chemical quality of drinking water was investigated. It was found out that the summer season has the best quality and the winter has the worst. There remains some ignorance in testing the drinking water in the villages and towns in Jenin district. Huge efforts are required to improve the drinking water quality in Jenin district, as well as other Palestinian districts, through public awareness, training of governmental inspectors, in addition to a strict monitoring system for water quality.
