Introduction
• River Yamuna, with a total length of around
1370 km is the largest tributary of the Ganges.
• Its source is at Yamunotri in the Uttarakhand
Himalaya regions.
• It used to be a clear blue river but since the past
few decades it has turned into one of the most
polluted river in the world, especially Delhi,
which dumps about 57% of its waste into the
river (Central Pollution Control Board, 2005)
Representation of the SCenario
Problem Statement:
To estimate bacterial risks of infection annually for villagers of village “DD” using
all possible combinations of given activities in a year.
Objectives :
•Assessment of risk with respect to “de minimus” or more substantial
• Groups of people at most risk and activities associated.
• Rank exposure in decreasing order of their annual risks of infection and risk
management approaches for minimizing these exposure risks.
• To assess reduction in fecal coliforms in order to meet the USEPA allowable
annual risks of microbial infection guideline for recreational water contact.
• To check uncertainties in analysis.
Hazard
• Identified biological hazard Shigella spp. and Vibrio. Spp.
• Characteristics
• Gram-negative bacteria with a curved-rod shape
(comma shape)
• It is anaerobic type of microorganism found
in saltwater, and do not form spores.
• Cause acute diarrhoeal disease
Vibrio Spp.
• Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, nonspore-
forming, nonmotile, rod-shaped bacteria.
• cause serious intestinal diseases, including
bacillary dysentery
Shigella spp.
