IMPROVING STANDARD OF LIVING OF RURAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH TREATMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF CARBONATED KILIBWONI BUBBLING SPRING WATER IN NANDI COUNTY

Abstract

The main objective of the research project was to determine the chemical composition of Kilibwoni bubbling Spring Water, and this was achieved by taking water samples from water points from bubbling spring water in Kiplolok site in Kilibwoni area. Water Samples were collected from bubbling spring water points in the months of November 2018 and February 2019 where three samples from each point were tested for carbonation, chemical, physio-chemical and microbial analysis Laboratory analysis was conducted in Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) laboratories in Eldoret and Nairobi Laboratories, and with the help of KEBS Experts. Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to capture spatial data involving mapping out of Coordinates for Sampling water points.
