The study was to know the water enterobacteria likely to harm the health of people in the group of Irhambi. Bacteriological analyzes of water sources, streams and rivers have been made. The results of the study show that the water sources, streams and rivers run through inhabited areas and bacteriological analysis shows that the water is contaminated, while the population obtains this water for drinking Gram Negative Bacilli and Unidentified (BGNNI), Kligler and Escherichia coli are present in some sources, streams and rivers of the search sites in the group of Irhambi. Thus, the Arab latrine pit is in the vicinity of sources of water. Animal faeces, dung and waste (rest of the kitchen, crop tops, etc.), used as fertilizer by farmers are at the base of groundwater contamination in runoff and infiltration of water rain hence the pollution of the water. The population and the landscape assainisse the environment of water points, and respects the minium distance of 25m between wells and latrines and the development partners keep telling support the strengthening of the remediation work at the households and financially support activities against pollution of water in the grouping. That governmental authorities, by encouraging health education awareness campaigns on the media and make continuous monitoring of water consumption in said group.
Author Keywords: Escherichia coli, Kligler, fecal contamination, Kabare, Lake Kivu.

Abstract: (french)
Le travail avait pour but de connaître les entérobactéries de l’eau susceptible de nuire à la santé de la population dans le groupement d’Irhambi. Pour y arriver, les analyses bactériologiques des eaux des sources, ruisseaux et rivières ont été faites. Les résultats de l’étude montrent que les eaux de sources, des ruisseaux et des rivières traversent les zones habitées et l’analyse bactériologique prouve que l’eau est contaminée alors que la population se procure cette eau pour la boisson et les Bacilles Gram Négatif Non Identifié (BGNNI), Kligler et Escherichia coli sont présents dans certaines sources, ruisseaux et rivières des sites de recherche dans le groupement d’Irhambi. Ainsi, le latrine à fosse arabe est aux environs des sources de l’eau. Les fèces des animaux, la bouse ainsi que les déchets (reste de la cuisine, fanes des cultures, etc), utilisés comme fertilisants par les agriculteurs sont à la base de contamination des nappes aquifères lors de ruissellement et de l’infiltration des eaux de pluie d’où la pollution de l’eau. Que la population l’aménage et l’assainisse l’environnement des points d’eaux et respecte la distance minium de 25m entre puits et latrines et que les partenaires de développement, maintiennent un appui contant au renforcement des travaux d’assainissement au niveau des ménages et appuient financièrement les activités de lutte contre la pollution de l’eau dans le groupement. Que les autorités administratives, par une éducation sanitaire encouragent les sensibilisations sur les médias et fassent un contrôle permanent des eaux de consommation dans ledit groupement.
Author Keywords: Escherichia coli, Kligler, Contamination fécale, Kabare, Lac Kivu.
