By: A. Ercumen*, A. Pickering*, L. Kwong*, B. Arnold*, S. Parvez*, M. Alam*, D. Sen*, S. Islam* ...

MeSH headings : Animals; Bangladesh; Diptera; Escherichia coli; Feces; Food Contamination; Humans; Sanitation; Soil; Water
TL;DR: E. coli in stored water and food increased with increasing E. coli levels in soil, ponds, source water and hands, and animal feces contribute to fecal contamination, and fecal indicator bacteria do not strictly indicate human feces contamination when animals are present.

Can Sanitary Inspection Surveys Predict Risk of Microbiological Contamination of Groundwater Sources? Evidence from Shallow Tubewells in Rural Bangladesh

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 96(3), 561–568.

By: A. Ercumen*, A. Naser, B. Arnold, L. Unicomb, J. Colford & S. Luby

MeSH headings : Bangladesh; Colony Count, Microbial; Drinking Water / microbiology; Environmental Monitoring; Escherichia coli / isolation & purification; Feces / microbiology; Food Contamination; Food Inspection / standards; Food Microbiology; Groundwater / microbiology; Risk Factors; Rural Population; Seasons; Surveys and Questionnaires; Water Microbiology; Water Quality / standards; Water Wells
TL;DR: Observed characteristics of a tubewell, as measured by sanitary inspections in their current form, do not sufficiently characterize microbiological water quality,As measured by E. coli, and the dominant contamination route for shallow groundwater sources is short-circuiting at the wellhead rather than subsurface transport.
