Chemical Ecology and Microbial Quality Assessment of Water of Recreational Hot Springs of Sikkim Himalayas
The major recreational hot springs of Sikkim which are famous tourist destinations were selected for the current study. Physicochemical and microbial quality of all the seven hot spring water samples were examined to assess the seasonal variation for three months. Polok hot spring was the hottest among all, whose temperature reached up to 75°C. In all the other hot springs, temperature ranged from 40 ° C to 50 ° C. Piper diagram, durov plot and schoeller plot categorized these hot springs as calcium chloride type. Elemental analysis showed similar pattern of composition in all the hot springs. Various other parameters such as total hardness of water, total alkalinity, phenolic compounds, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand were analyzed and they were found to be within the permissible limits of American Public Health Association and Bureau of Indian Standards. There was no growth in any differential and selection media used for the detection of coli-aerogenes, enteric bacterial pathogens belonging to Enterobacteriaceae , Salmonella - Shigella sp., Vibrio sp. and Pseudomonas sp. Hence, the hot springs of Sikkim are safe for recreational purposes.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Water and Environment Technology is an Open Access, fully peer-reviewed international journal for all aspects of the science, technology and management of water and the environment. The journal’s articles are clearly placed in a broader context to be relevant and interesting to our global audience of researchers, engineers, water technologists, and policy makers. JWET is the official journal of the Japan Society on Water Environment (JSWE) published in English, and welcomes submissions that take basic, applied or modeling approaches to the interesting issues facing the field. Topics can include, but are not limited to: water environment, soil and groundwater, drinking water, biological treatment, physicochemical treatment, sludge and solid waste, toxicity, public health and risk assessment, test and analytical methods, environmental education and other issues. JWET also welcomes seminal studies that help lay the foundations for future research in the field. JWET is committed to an ethical, fair and rapid peer-review process. It is published six times per year. It has two article types: Original Articles and Review Articles.
