Abstract

In order to evaluate the distribution level of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in drinking water resources, distribution of Cryptosporidium and Giardia was studied in intake water of main water treatment facility with treatment capacity over 50,000 ton/day in Korea. 10 L samples from each study sites were collected quarterly for 2 years between Oct. '04 and Dec. '07. Cryptosporidium and Giardia were filtered and concentrated by capsule filter and centrifugation, and analyzed by immunomagnetic separation process and fluorescent assay. Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts were detected in 7.0% and 9.3%, respectively, of a total 776 samples from 97 study sites. And mean detection number of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts in total 776 samples was 0.11/10 L, 0.16/10 L, detection range of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts was 0~7/10 L, 0~4/10 L, respectively. In seasonal distribution, Cryptosporidium was more frequent in spring as 9.2% than other season, Giardia was more frequent in winter as 14.6% than other season, but there was not shown significant seasonal characteristics. In correlation analysis with total 776 data, Cryptosporidium had significant correlation to total coliforms at the 0.05 level, but correlation value was too low as 0.07 (r=0.07). In case of Giardia, what had significant correlation at the 0.05 level was total coliforms and fecal coliforms, but correlation value was too low as 0.26, 0.27 respectively.
