Microbial contamination tracking in water

Dr. Warish Ahmed, a senior scientist of CSIRO Land and Water, Australia, offers targeted solutions to identify the point and non-point sources of microbial contamination in catchment and recreational waterways using molecular marker genes.

The applications of these marker genes helps water utilities, local councils, regulators and industries to target solutions that minimise faecal pollution sources and reduce human health risks.
