Description
Have you ever wondered how microbes get into drinking water? Or which microbes you should test for if your water sample is rated "total coliform unsafe?" This lecture will reveal developments in Wisconsin’s fecal source tracking toolbox. Explore what is known about the environmental fate of indicator organisms and pathogens from bovine and human waste in Wisconsin. Start a dialogue about research to improve understanding and to develop monitoring approaches for emerging waterborne pathogens.
