Developing correlation equations for converting among coliforms, E. coli and HPC for rainwater disinfection by sunlight

The application of solar disinfection for treating stored rainwater was investigated by the authors using indicator organisms. The multiple tube fermentation technique and pour plate method were used for the detection of microbial quality indicators like total and fecal coliforms, E. coli and hetero...
