Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
2. INTRODUCTION TO
SANITATION
Sanitation is the process of maintaining cleanliness
and hygiene in our surroundings. It involves various
activities such as cleaning, disinfecting, and waste
management. Proper sanitation practices are
essential for preventing the spread of diseases and
ensuring a healthy environment.
Sanitation also includes personal hygiene practices
such as handwashing, bathing, and dental hygiene.
These practices help prevent the spread of germs
and bacteria that can cause infections and illnesses.
3. IMPORTANCE OF SANITATION IN
PUBLIC PLACES
In Public places such as schools, hospitals,
restaurants, and airports require proper sanitation
practices to prevent the spread of diseases.
Regular cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces and
equipment can help eliminate harmful bacteria
and viruses.
In addition to cleaning, proper waste
management is also crucial in public places.
Garbage and waste should be disposed of
properly to prevent the accumulation of trash and
the breeding of pests such as rats and flies.
4. SANITATION IN DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES
Sanitation is a major challenge in developing countries
where access to clean water and basic sanitation
facilities is limited. Lack of proper sanitation practices
can lead to the spread of diseases such as cholera,
typhoid, and diarrhea.
To address this issue, various organizations and
governments are working towards improving sanitation
infrastructure in these countries. This includes building
toilets, providing access to clean water, and educating
communities on proper sanitation practices.
5. SANITATION AND FOOD
SAFETY
Proper sanitation practices are crucial in the food
industry to prevent the spread of foodborne
illnesses. This includes regular cleaning and
disinfecting of kitchen equipment, utensils, and
surfaces.
Food handlers should also practice good personal
hygiene such as washing their hands frequently and
wearing protective clothing such as gloves and
hairnets. Proper storage and handling of food can
also prevent contamination by harmful bacteria and
viruses.
6. Sanitation has a significant impact on the environment, particularly when it comes to water
pollution. Improper disposal of sewage can contaminate water sources, leading to the spread of
diseases and environmental degradation.
To promote environmental sustainability, it is important to implement sustainable sanitation
practices, such as composting toilets and wastewater treatment systems. These systems not
only reduce environmental pollution but also provide valuable resources for agriculture and
energy production.
SANITATION AND
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
7. TYPES OF SANITATION

handwashing, and grooming.
Domestic sanitation: This refers to the management of household
waste, including the safe disposal of garbage, sewage, and other
waste products.
Food hygiene: This includes the proper handling, storage, and
preparation of food to prevent contamination and the spread of
disease.
Water sanitation: This involves ensuring that the water supply is safe
and clean, free from pollutants and pathogens that can cause illness.
Environmental sanitation: This encompasses the management of
environmental factors such as air quality, pests, and animal waste
that can impact public health.

8. CHALLENGES IN
SANITATION
Despite the importance of sanitation, there are several
challenges that hinder its implementation. One of the
biggest challenges is lack of access to clean water
and sanitation facilities, particularly in rural areas.
Other challenges include inadequate funding for
sanitation programs, lack of awareness about the
importance of sanitation, and cultural beliefs and
practices that hinder the adoption of proper sanitation
practices.
9. ADVANTAGES OF SANITATION
Proper sanitation practices have numerous benefits.
First and foremost, they prevent the spread of diseases such as cholera, typhoid,
and diarrhea, which can be fatal.
By providing clean water and safe disposal of human waste, sanitation facilities
reduce the risk of contamination and infection.
In addition, proper sanitation practices also help protect the environment.
Wastewater treatment plants can remove harmful pollutants and chemicals from
wastewater before it is discharged into rivers or oceans, preventing water pollution
and protecting aquatic life.
10. DISADVANTAGES OF
SANITATION
The lack of proper sanitation facilities can have severe
consequences. Inadequate sanitation can lead to the
spread of diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea,
which can cause illness and death. This is particularly true
in developing countries where access to clean water and
sanitation facilities is limited.
Poor sanitation practices can also have negative
environmental impacts. Improper disposal of solid waste
can lead to littering and pollution, which can harm wildlife
and ecosystems. Additionally, untreated wastewater can
contaminate rivers and oceans, leading to water pollution
and the destruction of aquatic life.
11. INNOVATIONS IN
SANITATION TECHNOLOGY
Advances in technology have led to the development of
innovative sanitation solutions, such as self-contained toilets and
mobile sanitation units. These solutions are particularly useful in
areas where traditional sanitation infrastructure is not feasible or
cost-effective.
Other innovations include waterless urinals, solar-powered
toilets, and biodegradable sanitary products. These technologies
have the potential to revolutionize the way we think about
sanitation and improve access to safe and affordable sanitation
facilities for all.
12. THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT IN
PROMOTING SANITATION
Governments play a critical role in promoting sanitation,
particularly in developing countries where access to
sanitation facilities is limited. Governments can invest in
infrastructure, develop policies and regulations, and provide
financial support to promote behavior change and
education.
International organizations and non-governmental
organizations also play an important role in promoting
sanitation, particularly in areas where government capacity
is limited. By working together, governments and other
stakeholders can help ensure that everyone has access to
safe and affordable sanitation facilities
14. ABOUT
The Malavi sanitation case study is an important
example of how a community can come together
to improve their overall hygiene and living
conditions.
Located in Southeast Africa, Malavi has struggled
with sanitation issues for years, leading to
widespread health problems and economic
challenges.
15. ECO SANITATION
A new paradigm in sanitation that recognises human
excreta and water from households not as a waste
but as resources that can be recovered, treated,
where necessary, and safely used again.
PRINCIPLES
it offers a safe sanitation solution that prevents
disease and promotes health by successfully and
hygienically removing pathogen-rich excreta from
the immediate environment
it is environmentally sound as it doesn’t
contaminate groundwater or use scarce water
resources
it creates a valuable resource from what is usually
regarded as a waste product.
17. THE PROBLEM
The main problem in Malavi is the lack of access
to clean water and proper sanitation facilities.
Many people are forced to rely on contaminated
sources of water, leading to the spread of
diseases like cholera and typhoid fever.
Additionally, many households do not have
access to toilets or other basic sanitation
facilities, which leads to open defecation and
further contamination of the environment.
18. THE SOLUTION
In order to address these issues, the community in Malavi
began working with local organizations and government
agencies to develop a comprehensive sanitation plan. This
involved building new wells and water treatment facilities, as
well as constructing latrines and other sanitation
infrastructure.
The community also received education and training on
proper hygiene practices, such as hand washing and waste
disposal, in order to prevent the spread of disease.
19. THE RESULTS
The community in Malavi has seen significant
improvements in their overall health and well-being.
The incidence of waterborne diseases has decreased,
and more people now have access to clean water and
sanitation facilities.
The improved sanitation infrastructure has led to
economic benefits, as businesses are now able to
operate more efficiently and safely.
20. LESSONS LEARNED
The Malavi sanitation case study provides valuable
lessons for other communities facing similar
challenges. It highlights the importance of community
engagement and collaboration, as well as the need
for comprehensive planning and implementation.
It also demonstrates the potential for sanitation
projects to have far-reaching impacts beyond just
improving health outcomes, including economic and
social benefits.
21. CONCLUSION
Overall, the Malavi sanitation case study serves as an inspiring example of
how communities can come together to improve their living conditions and
