Tracking the origin of faecal pollution in surface water

- This project is focussed on tracking the origin of faecal pollution in surface waters and developing an innovative tool to determine faecal pollution sources using standardised methods, in a common sampling strategy within the EU. The capability to determine accurately the faecal sources would assist in the management of microbial water quality and in surveillance and warning of pollution source.

- The main outcome of the project is an innovative set of microbiological and chemical determinants to identify and characterise the sources of contamination.
