Handbook of Water and Wastewater Microbiology"Access to safe water is a fundamental human need and therefore a basic human right" --Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary General Edited by two world-renowned scientists in the field, The Handbook of Water and Wastewater Microbiology provides a definitive and comprehensive coverage of water and wastewater microbiology. With contributions from experts from around the world, this book gives a global perspective on the important issues faced in the provision of safe drinking water, the problems of dealing with aquatic pollution and the processes involved in wastewater management. Starting with an introductory chapter of basic microbiological principles, The Handbook of Water and Wastewater Microbiology develops these principles further, ensuring that this is the essential text for process engineers with little microbiological experience and specialist microbiologists alike.

Zero coliforms, and zero faecal coliforms, quickly became the microbiological
goal of drinking water quality. No-one would really question the general sense of
this goal – chlorinate your water and you get zero coliforms per 100 ml, ...

Faecal coliforms were considered to be those coliforms which were of exclusively
faecal origin and consequently able to grow and ferment lactose at 448C, and to
produce indole from tryptophan. However, the last edition of Report 71 ...
