| Abstract | In the determination of bacterial counts for the detection of cycles of presence in a large body of water, one must take into account several sources of error, such as a period of heavy rainfall, producing extensive runoff into the water impoundment. A study on bacterial presence in one water impoundment for a period of 1 1/2 years indicated that this influx of bacterial population does not alter the overall pattern of cycles which may be present. |
