The present study was conducted to evaluate the bacteriological quality of water collected from
tropical lake system. For this purpose, nine water sampling stations from Yamoussoukro lake system were
monitored between February 2007 and April 2008 for Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC), total coliforms and
faecal coliforms (Escherichia coli). Varying levels of bacteriological contamination were recorded in all the
stations. Bacterial indicator numbers (log means CFU/ mL) varied from 5.96 to 6.18 for HPC, 5.25 to 5.69 for
total coliforms and 3.49 to 4.07 for E. coli. Results of this study showed that the water quality has deteriorated
in Yamoussoukro lake system. In conclusion, it is important to provide sanitary monitoring program for the
water.
Key words: Escherichia coli, microbiological pollution, total coliform, tropical lake system, , ,
