Temperatures and salts of water were found in the standard range and there was a significant difference in the number of bacteria and the total number of Vibrios found in the study areas. From a seasonal variability study, it was found that coliforms and the total number of bacteria were significantly higher during the monsoon and after the post-monsoon.
