| http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#value | - The differences in abundance and survival of FIB emphasize the limitations of using a single indicator of bacterial contamination in complex environmental systems such as OWTS. In particular, enterococci can survive longer than E. coli in faecal-impacted sediment and soil (Howell et al. 1996; Cools et al. 2001) and under extreme environments including variations in pH, salinity and moisture.
