Engaging the Future - Connecting Those Dots

South Africa's water resources are increasingly pressured by rapid urbanisation, climate change, and population growth — all factors that challenge water supply and quality. Effective purification and advanced water testing are vital to removing contaminants, managing supply, and meeting safety standards. By investing in these technologies, South Africa can better secure clean, safe water for current and future generations.

How to Test Well Water for Bacteria

Well water may harbour harmful bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter, posing serious health risks. Unlike treated municipal water, well water requires regular testing and proper maintenance to prevent waterborne illnesses, especially among vulnerable groups. At Betach, we assist communities in ensuring safe drinking water through reliable and timely bacterial testing.
