Description	The threat of waterborne disease remains a crucial consideration for water supplies worldwide. The absence of microbial pathogens is a basic criterion for potable water. Specific tests for waterborne pathogens are generally reserved for outbreak investigations. The wide diversity of pathogen types, viz., bacterial, viral, and protozoal, as well as methodological problems associated with detection, makes routine analysis impractical. For many years microbial indicators have played an essential role in determining the sanitary quality of drinking water. These indicator organisms provide a means for assessing the potential presence of disease-causing organisms. Public health officials have come to rely upon microbial indicator systems to provide a cost-effective means for assessing drinking water quality. Currently many simple, commercially available techniques exist for monitoring water quality in small systems and in remote areas. Book Name: Providing Safe Drinking Water in Small Systems
