本研究的目的是建立一个全面的水监测策略，以获得有关檀香山供水局（HBWS）地下水源和饮用水分配系统中的水的微生物质量的令人信服的数据，以确定地下水源是否受到粪便污染。在分析较大水样（高达1000毫升）和分析多种粪便细菌指标（总大肠菌群、粪便大肠菌群、大肠杆菌、粪便链球菌、产气荚膜梭菌）、其他细菌（总异养细菌、产硫化氢细菌）以及大肠噬菌体的基础上，设计了一个综合监测程序7。这项研究的结果表明，饮用水源的粪便指示菌水平非常低。 大多数这种低水平的污染是由大肠菌群总数造成的，这种细菌有许多非粪便来源。根据所有可用数据得出结论，HBWS地下水源不易受到粪便污染。包括24个参考文献和表格。

The objective of this study was to establish a comprehensive water monitoring strategy to obtain convincing data on the microbial quality of Honolulu Board of Water Supply (HBWS) groundwater sources and water in the potable distribution sytem for the purpose of determining whether the groundwater sources are contaminated with fecal matter. A comprehensive monitoring program 7 was devised based on analyzing larger water samples (up to 1,000 ml) and analyzing for multiple fecal bacterial indicators (total coliform, fecal coliform, E. coli, fecal streptococci, C. perfringens), other bacteria (total heterotrophic bacteria, hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria), as well as coliphages. The results of this study show that the potable water sources had very low levels of fecal indicator bacteria. Most of this low level of contamination was due to total coliform bacteria, a bacteria which has many non-fecal sources. Based on all the available data, it was concluded that HBWS groundwater sources are not vulnerable to contamination with fecal matter. Includes 24 references, tables.
