Description
The Cave Conservancy of the Virginias has funded new work that will investigate how well E. coli and fecal pathogens are transported through cave and karst systems during different seasons and flow conditions. This work is testing the extent to which cave and karst systems transport bacteria long distances from surface water sources, such as creeks and streams, to downstream surface waters and springs where people obtain drinking water.
