DelAgua Case Study - Harikar NGO and CARE in Northern Iraq
Harikar NGO are working with CARE to provide water quality testing in camps for IDPs (Internationally Displaced People), in Northern Iraq. CARE have carried out a 2-day training course with Harikar field staff on the DelAgua Kit so they are able to carry out weekly bacteriological testing. Harikar have previously been carrying out Free Residual Chlorine testing inside the camps to check if it is ...

Microbial source tracking of private well water samples across at-risk regions in southern Ontario and analysis of traditional fecal indicator bacteria assays including culture and qPCR
Many people living in rural areas rely on privately owned wells as their primary source of drinking water. These water sources are at risk for fecal contamination of human, wildlife, and livestock origin. While traditional bacteriological testing involves culture-based methods, microbial source tracking (MST) assays present an opportunity to additionally determine the source of fecal ...

Potentially pathogenic bacteria isolated from different tropical waters in Sri Lanka
This study investigated the bacteriological contamination of different water sources in Sri Lanka. Source waters (n = 74) including bottled water, well water and surface water were assessed for enumerating total coliforms and faecal coliforms using the membrane filtration method. The results showed that 18.5 and 14.8% of bottled water samples were contaminated with total coliforms ...

Drinking water quality and source reliability in rural Ashanti region, Ghana
Site-specific information about local water sources is an important part of a community-driven effort to improve environmental conditions. The purpose of this assessment was to gather this information for residents of rural villages in Ghana. Sanitary surveys and bacteriological testing for total coliforms and Escherichia coli (EC) using Colilert® were conducted at nearly 80 water ...

Evaluation of a BWTK for detection of total coliforms,
E. coli and emerging pathogens from drinking water: comparison with standard MPN methodA defined substrate method media in bacteriological water testing kit (BWTK) has been developed to recover and detect the presence/absence of total coliforms and emerging pathogens from drinking water without the need for the confirmatory or complete tests. This method is based on technology that uses a hydrolysable substrate as a specific indicator- nutrient for the target microbes. To perform ...

Assessing Risk Information Concerning Coastal Runoff
Executive Summary In coastal urban watersheds, runoff from the landscape eventually reaches the ocean. If beaches along the ocean are used for recreation, three vital and interrelated questions arise. First, whether and to what extent does urban runoff degrade the quality of ocean water that is used for recreation? Second, to what extent docs this runoff-related ocean pollution pose a risk to ...
