In South Florida, river bank soils and beach sands have been implicated as the source of indicator microbes to the water column [ 9- 11], and experimentation has documented that soil moisture mediated by tidal cycles is a key factor in facilitating regrowth [ 12].
During both meetings, feedback was sought on how to package the available evidence around M&E of transition, the components of the proposed framework, and possible indicators and sources of indicators for each of the framework domains.
In situations where better sources of indicator values can be obtained, such data sources were used.
Two key differences between CWs and IWs are the sources of indicator bacteria, which may modify the relationship between indicator microbes and health risk, and the relationship between indicators and pathogens, which also may vary within IWs.
For cases where the sources of indicator bacteria are intermittent (on time scales less than days), the monitoring program is incapable of providing warnings in a time effective manner.
However, self-report data are an essential and commonly used source of health indicators in research (Stone et al., 1999), and the SISCF is the best data set available to answer the research question because it is the only large, nationally representative survey of inmates available in the United States.
The Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MOFED) was the source of Economic indicators like the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross National Product (GNP) per capita.
While the urban runoff are increasingly being studied as a source of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), less is known about the occurrence of FIB in watershed with mixed land use and ongoing land use and land cover (LULC) change.
Archival data are an important source of community indicator data.
Although food did not appear to be a critical source of fecal indicator bacteria in this study, the infant feeding environment was frequently contaminated with fecal matter.
