Effects of Climate and Environmental Factors on Bacterial Growth in Jazan's Distribution System

EasyChair Preprint 13582

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of climate and environmental factors on bacterial growth in Jazan's distribution system. Jazan, located in a region with a unique climate, faces specific challenges in maintaining water quality and safety. The study explores the impact of temperature, humidity, sunlight exposure, and other environmental factors on bacterial growth. Temperature fluctuations influence bacterial growth, with an optimal range for proliferation. High humidity levels also contribute to bacterial growth, posing challenges in Jazan's humid climate. Sunlight exposure and UV radiation play a crucial role in controlling bacterial populations, emphasizing the importance of adequate disinfection measures. Other factors, including water quality, flow dynamics, and pollution sources, further influence bacterial growth. The study recommends mitigation strategies such as regular monitoring, maintenance practices, water treatment, and infrastructure improvements to mitigate bacterial growth risks. Understanding the effects of climate and environmental factors on bacterial growth is crucial for preserving water quality and safety in Jazan's distribution system, calling for further research and proactive measures.

Keyphrases: Bacterial growth, Bacterial proliferation, Humidity, Nutrient availability, Temperature, environmental factors
