Description 43-47
A study was undertaken
to assess the validity of enteric and supplemental bacterial indicators along the
115-km length of the south Gujarat region (India). Enteric organisms like Proteus
and Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, Salmonella and

Shigella were
detected in 74, 25, 4 and 2 % respectively of the 47 samples. Supplemental
indicators such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio cholerae like
organisms were retrieved in 8 and 4 % of samples whereas Pseudomonas

aeruginosa like
organisms could not be detected. Total coliforms and total vibrios were retrieved
in 27 and 55 % of the samples. The validity of these bacterial groups as water
quality indicators is discussed with statistical relations. It is suggested that
inclusion of these groups could be made mandatory in coastal and estuarine waters
for the environmental

impact assessment.
