Sažetak
In this study, quality of well water used for cattle watering on farms in the northwest Croatia was investigated. The following microbiological parameters were analysed: total coliforms, Escherichia coli, intestinal enterococci, the number of microorganism colonies at 37 ° C and 22 ° C, Clostridium perfringens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Physico-chemical analysis included following parameters: colour, taste, odour, pH, chlorides, sulphates, nitrites, nitrates, sodium, potassium, ammonium, free chlorine, iron and the consumption of KMnO4. Among 34 samples analysed, 79.4% were microbiologically, 61.8% were chemically and 94.1% of the samples were in total unsuitable according to the Croatian water quality regulations (OJ 125/2013, 141/2013, 128/2015).
