Detection and enumeration of fecal coliforms and other microorganisms in drinking water: a comparative of two techniques

ABSTRACT

Comparative efficacy of two water analysing techniques, based on bacterial analysis has been investigated. Method of Rand et al with some alterations has proved to be ideal as it provides information on presumptive coliform, feacal coliforms, standard plate counts and confirms the identity of the isolates. Moreover, the improvised method is less time consuming and is comparatively inexpensive
