Abstract
A method is given for tracing movement of simulated chemical and bacterial pollutants in ground water. Uranin was satisfactory for determining direction of flow. An enterococcus Streptococcus zymo-genes. was a suitable tracer organism. The organism was traced 50 feet. Several bacterial chromogens were not suitable test agents. A dialyzing culture study was a necessary adjunct in determining degree of survival of test organisms in ground water.Keywords
