Water safety indicators

by Jessica

What does testing for Escherichia coli in drinking water indicate?

Possible fecal contamination.

Presence of chemical pollutants.

High mineral content in water.

Which organisation is primarily responsible for drinking water quality standards in England?

Environment Agency (EA).

Drinking Water Inspectorate (DWI).

Public Health England (PHE).

Which parameter is a general indicator of bacterial contamination in water supplies?

Enterococcus

Total coliforms

Vibrio cholerae

How should a water sample be preserved before laboratory analysis in most UK microbial tests?

Freeze the sample until analysis

Store at room temperature for 48 hours

Keep cool (2–8°C) and analyse within 24 hours

Where is routine sampling for water companies required under DWI regulations?

Treatment works, service reservoirs, supply zones, consumer taps

Only bottled water sources

Exclusively private wells

Membrane filtration typically uses:

100 ml water samples on nonselective media

100 ml water samples on selective/chromogenic media

1 ml water samples on selective/chromogenic media

Why are Total Viable Count (TVC) tests performed at both 22°C and 37°C in UK drinking water?

22°C for pathogens only; 37°C for harmless bacteria

Both temperatures detect the same bacteria equally

22°C for environmental bacteria; 37°C for potential human pathogens

Why test for indicator microorganisms rather than pathogens directly in drinking water?

Pathogens are too numerous to culture quickly

Cost-effective; quick; broad coverage

Indicators are more dangerous than pathogens

You can integrate the game into an LMS compatible with LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 such as Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard. This way, the scores will be automatically saved into the platform’s gradebook.
