Golinga reservoir provides water for drinking and domestic and agricultural activities for its surrounding communities. However, competitive demand and multiple-use necessitated a study into the influence of the multipurpose use on the water quality and subsequent health risks. The 6-month research employed observations and water sampling to assess the impact. Empirical orthogonal function, analysis of variance, and variance–covariance were run to interpret the obtained data. The study recorded ranges for pH (6.65–7.11 pH units), turbidity (3.33–80.66 NTU), conductivity (67.73–191.93), nitrate-nitrogen (0.13–6.17 mg/L), PO₄-P (0.01–0.08 mg/L), sulphate (0.05–0.09 mg/L), fluoride (0.12–0.32 mg/L), sodium (4.67–15.46 mg/L), potassium (2.20–3.75 mg/L), faecal coliform (log₁₀ 1.30–log₁₀ 2.56 cfu/100 mL), E. coli (log₁₀ 0.77–log₁₀ 1.23 cfu/100 mL), and Salmonella spp. (log₁₀ 1.51–log₁₀ 1.62 cfu/100 mL). All except turbidity fell within acceptable levels. Pairing the physical and chemical parameters showed a significant relationship (p < 0.05) except for pH and Na⁺, SO₄²⁻, K⁺ and F⁻, Na⁺ and K⁺, and F⁻, and K⁺ and F⁻, and SO₄²⁻ and F⁻ and SO₄²⁻ which revealed no significance (p > 0.05). Pairing the bacteria loads was presented a significant association (p < 0.05) except for faecal coliform and Salmonella spp. which were not significant (p > 0.05). Frequent activities were noted to support the revelation of high faecal contamination. The research suggests community by-laws enforcement curtail cattle movement as well as adequate disinfection methods to render the water suitable for potable use. The presence of pathogenic bacteria was attributed to open defaecation which poses negative health effects such as gastroenteritis, especially when water is orally consumed without prior treatment. Open defaecation was noted and supports the detection of high faecal contamination. The research suggests the promotion of simpler disinfection methods to render the water potable, enforcement of community by-laws, and in-depth environmental quality monitoring.

Golinga 水库为周边社区提供饮用水以及家庭和农业活动用水。然而，竞争性需求和多用途需要研究多用途对水质和随后的健康风险的影响。为期 6 个月的研究采用观察和水采样来评估影响。运行经验正交函数、方差分析和方差-协方差来解释获得的数据。该研究记录了 pH（6.65–7.11 pH 单位）、浊度（3.33–80.66 NTU）、电导率（67.73–191.93）、硝酸盐-氮（0.13–6.17 mg/L）、PO ₄ -P（0.01–0.08 mg）的范围/L)、硫酸盐 (0.05–0.09 mg/L)、氟化物 (0.12–0.32 mg/L)、钠 (4.67–15.46 mg/L)、钾 (2.20–3.75 mg/L)、粪便大肠菌群 (log ₁₀ 1.30 -日志₁₀ 2.56 cfu/100 mL)、大肠杆菌（log ₁₀ 0.77–log ₁₀ 1.23 cfu/100 mL）和沙门氏菌属。（log ₁₀ 1.51–log ₁₀ 1.62 cfu/100 mL）。除浊度外，所有都在可接受的水平内。 除了 pH 和 Na ⁺、SO ₄ ²⁻、K ⁺和 F ^-、Na ⁺和 K ⁺、F ^-和 K ⁺和 F ^{- 外}，物理和化学参数的配对显示出显着的相关性 ( p < 0.05) ，和 SO ₄ ²⁻和 F^-和 SO ₄ ^2-显示无显着性（p  > 0.05）。 除粪便大肠菌群和沙门氏菌外，配对细菌负荷呈现显着关联（p < 0.05）。不显着（p > 0.05）。注意到频繁的活动来支持高粪便污染的启示。研究表明，社区附例执法会减少牛的活动，并采取适当的消毒方法，使水适合饮用。致病菌的存在归因于露天排便，这会对健康造成负面影响，例如肠胃炎，尤其是在未经事先治疗的情况下口服水时。注意到露天排便并支持检测高粪便污染。研究建议推广更简单的消毒方法，使水变得可饮用，执行社区附例，以及深入的环境质量监测。
