Final Report

Abstract

Microbiological methods have not been validated for use in reclaimed water and their performance characteristics and variability are mostly unknown. The project reviews the methods used for microbial analyses, determine the microbiological methods currently used by the reclaimed water industry, develop a systematic process for selecting appropriate methods, and develop a framework for round-robin testing of microbiological methods by the industry.

Originally funded as WERF project Reuse-07-01.
