Abstract Because water serves as vehicles in the transmission of many pathogens‚ coliforms are commonly used as indicators to monitor the quality of water. I hypothesized that Lake Thoreau would have more fecal coliforms because it is a more stagnant environment meaning more animals can stop their and release their feces‚ and also the animals that reside there continue to reproduce‚ leaving no exit for their excretions. By using the MPN test‚ I was able to detect the coliforms from the fermentation

industrial process of converting the harvested oil palm fruit into crude palm oil‚ large amount of water is consumed by palm oil mill. Consequently‚ the consumed water would turn into POME which is basically liquid waste that combined with the wastes from sterilizer condensate and cooling water. POME is the single largest source of industrial waste water pollution in Malaysia. POME is oily waste water that had been generated by palm oil processing mills and consists of various suspended components

thereby causing severe environmental pollution. Mining Belt of Goa Impact on Environment Mining has also created a degraded environment and is also a matter of concern. Damage to the environment is mainly done by the reject dumps‚ pumping out of muddy waters from the working pits including those where the mining operations have gone below the water table‚ and slimes from the beneficiation plant. The damage is more evidenced during monsoon where the rain water carries the washed out material from
