Microbiological Water Safety Monitoring

Spring 2016

Considering the ultimate goals for the microbiological water safety monitoring team, it is necessary to research and understand the options available for pathogenic detection in water. Both established microbiological tests and the theoretical “sliding colony counter” method will be evaluated. Upon understanding the cost and efficiency of each method, it will be possible to narrow down the method that can be used as a model for microbial detection for AguaClara's purposes. Understanding the research done by others is vital to saving time in producing the desired detector.
