Jakham reservoir is an important fresh water reservoir for domestic and ecological needs in the tribal tract of Pratapgarh in southern Rajasthan. The lack of safe drinking water is still a major problem for indigenous areas. In this study, the microbial load of the Jakham water reservoir was evaluated to assess the waterborne health risks associated with it for the local tribal population. MPN was used to determine the microbial load and to isolate indicator organisms including total coliforms, faecal coliforms and faecal streptococci. A grand annual Log10 (X+1) transformed mean value were enumerated of FC 1.87±0.15MPN/100mL, TC 2.08±0.15MPN/100mL and FS 1.63±0.25MPN/100mL in 2023-24 but in second term 1.85±0.18MPN/100mL (FC), 2.09±0.23MPN/100mL (TC) and 1.57±0.18MPN/100mL (FS) were recorded. A total of eight opportunistic pathogenic bacterial strains, including Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Salmonella, Clostridium, Streptococcus feacalis and Staphylococcus aureus were recovered from the water samples. The peak isolation frequency was noted for E. coli and Streptococcus faecalis with their vigorous proliferation persisting throughout the entire observation period. Results demonstrated minimal microbial contamination levels that pose health risks to the affected population. Waterborne outbreaks can be reduced through community level water purification, protection of the infrastructure and periodic microbiological surveillance.
