Comparison of the Colilert Method and Standard Fecal Coliform Methods

Abstract

Compares the coliform monitoring method evaluated in project #205 with standard fecal coliform testing methods to determine practicality for positive identification of bacteria of fecal origin, with direct interpretive applications for assessing potability of drinking water. Published in 1994.
