Phycological and bacteriological assessment of drinking water in schools of Tanta city, Egypt

Frequent water analysis is required to discover pollutants, describe water characteristics, and create a database for the water type that must be cleansed and treated in order to generate healthy water and, as a result, determine the best treatment method. In this regard, the goal of this research w...
