title = "Relationship between fecal coliform and E.coli within Kentucky River Basin",
abstract = "Various bacteria have been proposed and used in the past as possible indicators of the presence of pathogens in surface waters. Fecal coliform and E.coli are two of the more widely used indicators. While fecal coliform has been used extensively by both federal EPA and various state governments, E.coli has only more recently been adopted by various states (such as Kentucky) following EPA's 1986 decision to recommend its use. As a consequence, many state regulatory and research databases contain significant fecal coliform data but more sparse E.coli data. Thus, it would be useful to have a relationship between fecal and E.coli data so that historical data sets could be updated for the purposes of establishing and evaluating water quality trends. This paper presents just such a relationship that was developed from data collected from central Kentucky over a multi year period.",
