Abstract
A number of methods have recently been developed to measure the biodegradability of aquatic natural organic matter. These techniques measure assimilable organic carbon, biodegradable organic carbon, or bacterial growth potential. This article reviews the various methods and summarizes their application to the assessment of treatment processes and bacterial growth in distribution systems. Research and development needs are also identified.
