This text provides an account of the nature and applications of the
Coliform Index. Since the beginning of the 20th century, indicator
organisms, in particular the coliform group, have been used to
ensure the microbial quality of drinking water. World-wide
legislation to protect consumers is based on these out-dated and
unreliable tests and while there is considerable concern among
scientists over their use, the water industry and regulators
continue to place near total reliance on the Coliform Index. This
has serious implications for public health and necessitates the
debate which this book enters.
