Groundwater quality monitoring management requires the implementation and/or expansion of routine groundwater quality monitoring programs in all villages in the counties of Romania. While the standardization of sample collection and laboratory testing protocols is essential, the ability to provide timely public notification is an equally important element. In preparation for the implementation of the groundwater quality monitoring management programe we investigated the use of IDEXX Colilert-18, IDEXX Enterolert E, Quanti-Tray/2000 (IDEXX) as a means to reduce the time necessary for public notification of freshwater quality while still providing accurate and consistent test results. The fact that IDEXX decreases the time from sample collection to public notification by over six hours coupled with its ease of use and consistent results make this method an attractive choice for the implementation of groundwater management programs.
