Rapid Method for Escherichia coli in the Cuyahoga River
This study is a continuation of a previous U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) project in cooperation with the National Park Service at Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Brecksville, Ohio. A rapid (1-hour) method for detecting Escherichia coli (E. coli) in water was tested and compared to the standard (24-hour) method for determining E. coli concentrations. Environmental data were collected to determineAuthorsAmie M. G. BradyA spatial, multivariable approach for identifying proximate sources of Escherichia coli to Maumee Bay, Lake Erie, Ohio

In May 2002, 15 wells and four surface water sites were sampled, and in September 2002, those same wells and sites plus four additional surface sites were sampled in five parishes of northwestern Louisiana. A geographic information system (GIS) was used to select residential water wells for sampling. Well water samples were analyzed for pH, conductivity, organic compounds, and nutrient and anion cAuthorsJoseph E. Bunnell, Rebecca N. Bushon, Donald M. Stoeckel, Amie M.

WarwickEscherichia coli at Ohio Bathing Beaches—Distribution, Sources, Wastewater Indicators, and Predictive Modeling
Results of studies during the recreational seasons of 2000 and 2001 strengthen the science that supports monitoring of our Nation's beaches. Water and sediment samples were collected and analyzed for concentrations of Escherichia coli (E. coli). Ancillary water-quality and environmental data were collected or compiled to determine their relation to E. coli concentrations. Data were collected at tAuthorsDonna S. Francy, Amie M.

The zone of the shoreline that is constantly washed by waves or tides, called the swash zone, is an attractive recreational area, especially for children who play in the sand. The swash zone, however, has been suggested as a possible habitat for waterborne disease-causing microorganisms (pathogens). The spaces between the sand grains, or interstices, offer habitats that may support the survival ofAuthorsDonna S. Francy, Amie M. Gifford
