abstract={Water provides all living beings with good health and the well-being of their organism. It allows him to meet his basic needs and especially his food. But, for a beneficial use, the optimal quality of the water is essential. In Senegal, most regions are fed by Lake Guiers and the latter is threatened by industrial discharges, hydro-agricultural activities which cause a gradual deterioration in its quality. In this study, we carried out bacteriological studies and a follow-up of the evolution of the lead content on the Keur Momar SARR-Thi¨¨s axis in order to see the degree of potability of the water intended for human consumption of Keur Momar Sarr to the storage reservoir of the Polytechnic School of Thi¨¨s. The microbiological parameters were determined by the colony-forming unit (CFU) method on selective agar media. The results of the physico-chemical parameters show that the concentration of lead is not significant with a maximum value of 0.11 mg/L. This value does not exceed the limits of the World Health Organization (WHO). The results of the bacteriological parameters show that the Kelle 1 and Beud forage boreholes contain the highest levels of total coliforms (110 and 115 CFU/100 mL) and faecal coliforms (34 and 85 CFU/100 mL). Faecal streptococci predominate in the borehole area (50 CFU/100 mL). A comparison with the WHO standards, these bacteriological parameters belong to the tolerance interval for water intended for consumption.},
