Abstract

This report, Collecting, Exploring, and Interpreting Microbiological Data Associated with Reclaimed Water Systems: A Guidance Manual, presents basic concepts to facilitate collection of meaningful data with an emphasis on the design of sampling programs, data interpretation, and statistical analysis. The manual helps with routine monitoring programs and design of studies for detailed microbiological investigations. The examples and illustrations encompass a variety of microbial investigations relevant to reclaimed water facilities.
