Microbiological analysis of drinking water in an indigenous village

The indigenous people have various cultural processes, including their way of collecting water for their consumption, which is done through shallow wells and with little care in their structure and maintenance, making their water of poor quality for human consumption, since the collection area is very close to their homes, without care for the level of the land, which can lead to contamination with rainwater, bringing animal waste to this well, thus increasing diarrhoeal outbreaks and other gastrointestinal problems throughout the population.
