TL;DR: It is suggested that improving sanitary completion and local environmental hygiene was more important than controlling on-site sanitation in improving the quality of these springs and there is rapid recharge of the springs after rainfall and this leads to microbiological contamination.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of potential markers and a detailed study of the aquifer beneath the city of Nottingham, UK, was unable to find suitable markers for precipitation and mains leakage.

TL;DR: A comprehensive assessment of the water quality status, both microbial and chemical, of urban groundwater in SSA across a range of hydrogeological terrains and different groundwater point types is provided.

TL;DR: The microbiological contamination of groundwater has profound and severe implications for public health, particularly in small communities and developing countries, where groundwater is often the preferred source of drinking water as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Tryptophan-like fluorescence was the most effective predictor of both presence/absence and number of TTCs during both seasons and has the potential to be included in real-time pollution alert systems for drinking water supplies throughout the world, as well as for mapping enteric pathogen risks in developing regions.
