Development of Bacteroides 16S rRNA Gene TaqMan-Based Real-Time PCR Assays for Estimation of Total, Human, and Bovine Fecal Pollution in Water

Alice C. Layton, +5 more
- 01 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a real-time Bacteroides species (AllBac) detection was performed on human, cattle, and equine feces, and the results showed that the AllBac detection can be used to estimate the total amount of fecal contamination in water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colloid Transport in the Subsurface

John F. McCarthy, +1 more
- 01 May 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the work described in this special section on colloid transport within a more general perspective of the evolution of our understanding of the importance of colloids in subsurface systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Field Experiments in a Fractured Clay Till 2. Solute and Colloid Transport

Larry D. McKay, +2 more
- 01 Dec 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a field tracer experiment was conducted in a lateral flow field in the weathered and highly fractured upper 6 m of a 40m-thick clay-rich till plain in southwestern Ontario.
Journal ArticleDOI

Field experiments in a fractured clay till: 1. Hydraulic conductivity and fracture aperture

Larry D. McKay, +2 more
- 01 Apr 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided the first reliable determination of the magnitude and spatial distribution of hydraulically derived fracture parameters in a clay deposit, using the cubic law with fracture orientation/distribution measurements and the small-scale hydraulic conductivity measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of fecal indicators with pathogenic bacteria and rotavirus in groundwater

Andrew Ferguson, +18 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: Groundwater cannot be excluded as a significant source of diarrheal disease in Bangladesh and neighboring countries with similar characteristics, the need to develop more effective methods for screening tubewells with respect to microbial contamination is necessary.
