Abstract
Current sampling methodologies limit the ability to both accurately and costeffectively assess the extent of fecal pollution in surface water (e.g., storm sewers, urban streams). The water column is routinely sampled for fecal coliform bacteria in public health surveys since it best reflects initial impacts of contamination and is most relevant to public health issues such as the safety of swimming beaches or drinking water supplies. However, since bacterial concentrations in water can be highly variable, cell counts from single grab samples using small sample volumes (100 mL) may not represent long-term concentrations.
