This powerpoint presentation begins by presenting the objectives and challenges of watershed monitoring programs, along with a brief overview of microbial source tracking (MST) including: developing a toolbox; identification of pollution sources is key; MST classifications; host-specific MST; species-specific MST; chemical indicator MST; MST comparison; recent MST workshops; and, MST and sustainability. Three case studies are presented, including: Beaman Pond Brook, Massachusetts, a.k.a., when the farmer blames the residential homes, and the homeowners blame the horses; West Boylston Brook, Massachusetts, a.k.a., when a compact New England landscape provides too many potential sources to count; and, Door County, Wisconsin, a.k.a., when aquifer morphology works against you. Includes tables, figures. See more
