Changes of the coliform populations of the shoreline waters, Shediac, New Brunswick.
This paper presents the results of a survey of the changes in the coliform populations of the shoreline waters, Shediac, New Brunswick. The sanitary quality of these waters showed more than 1000 organisms/100 ml of coliforms thereby indicating post-winter and pre-summer contamination of these waters. The membrane filter method is found to be equally efficient to that of the MPN method. The sanitary quality of these waters in relation to other ecological parameters like temperatures, pH salinity and availability of oxygen are considered.
