| Abstract |
A large body of literature describes the processes affecting the fate of microorganisms in the subsurface environment (i.e., soil and groundwater). The fate of microorganisms depends on two main components: survival and transport. Both components must be considered when determining whether there is a hazard to human health associated with the contamination of the groundwater. If a microorganism can survive in the subsurface but is not readily transported through the soil, it likely does not pose a large threat. Similarly, if it is easily transported but does not persist, it may not be of much concern. However, if a microorganism survives in an infective form long enough to be transported through the soil and into the groundwater, it may contaminate the water supply. |
