Abstract

Context: In the village of M'pody in the Anyama district, located about 60 kilometers from the town of Anyama, a diarrhea epidemic was detected in January 2020 and affected 69 people, mostly children aged 0 to 5 years. According to the affected population, these cases of diarrhea were related to the consumption of water from the improved village water system, which had not been maintained for nearly three years. The objective of this work was to develop a bacteriological characterization model of the water table in the village of M'pody (Ivory coast) based on physicochemical parameters and meteorology in order to estimate the concentration of indicator germs of fecal pollution (Escherichia coli) by well. Methods: The methodology consisted of four water sampling campaigns per well during the year's four seasons on all 72 wells in this region, for a total of 288 visits. Conventional physico-chemical parameters were determined using electrochemical and spectrophotometric methods. Bacteriological parameters were determined by the membrane filtration technique. A sanitary inspection was also carried out. The development of the prediction model for the Escherichia coli indicator was performed using a linear mixed model. The performance of our model was evaluated by bootstrap and k-fold cross-validation techniques. Results: The mixed linear model with random intercept (log transformation) chosen following the spaghetti plot and likelihood ratio test gave the following results: The predictive model explained 30,24% of the variance in Escherichia coli concentrations (log transformation). It is based on 9 variables. Validation of the model performance by bootstrap gave us a very low relative bias < 5%, average prediction errors (RMSE) and absolute prediction errors per K-fold lower than 2,5. Conclusion: The development of the statistical model for predicting concentrations of fecal pollution indicator bacteria in wells was made possible by the existence of reliable databases. These databases made it possible to use 9 explanatory variables in a scientific approach to explaining the variable explained Escherichia coli. The validation of the predictive performances by K-fold and bootstrap showed that the model predictions are accurate and the bootstrap estimates of the parameters are unbiased. This implemented model could be used in the event of a declaration of waterborne diseases in this locality before the results of the microbiological analysis are returned.
