title: On the drinking water situation on the Cape Verde Islands (Islands of Santiago).
abstract: On the Cape Verde Islands drinking water investigations were made. The drinking water was tested in chemical and bacteriological respects as well as on amoebas and rotaviruses. The isolated germs were investigated on their reaction against several antibiotics and chemotherapeutics by means of the agar diffusion test. The changing of drinking water quality from water supply places to households was investigated as well. The results make evident the urgency of extensive sanitations of water supply places on the Cape Verde Islands.
