In the first portion of this paper, the current status of total and fecal coliforms as indicators for the evaluation of fecal and pathogenic contamination of water was discussed. Afterwards, a comparison of several methods for the determination of those coliforms was presented. The relatively reliable correlation was found in LB-BGLB method and desoxycholate agar method for the determination of total coliforms and in LB-EC method and mFC method for fecal coliforms.
