Preliminary investigation of microbial indicators in the assessment of Oregon streams

Creator:: Campbell, Heidi M. K.
Abstract:: The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) site selection protocol was used to generate a random sample of streams throughout the state of Oregon. One hundred and forty-six selected streams were sampled during the summer, low-flow period of 1997. Traditional microbial public health indicators, including heterotrophic plate counts (HPC), total...

Solar disinfection of drinking water : Effectiveness in peri-urban households in Siddhipur Village, Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

Creator:: Rainey, Rochelle C.
Abstract:: The study examined pH, turbidity, and fecal contamination of drinking water from household water storage containers, wells and taps, and the Godawari River, and tested the effectiveness of solar disinfection (SODIS) in reducing levels of fecal contamination from household containers. Second, the study investigated the relationship between use of SODIS...
