Analyse microbiologique de l'eau is a French-language monograph authored by Nigel Lightfoot and published by Gordon & Breach in September 2002. Spanning 186 pages in paperback format, the book presents a detailed examination of microbiological methods applied to water sampling and analysis. It covers the detection and enumeration of various microorganisms, including aerobic bacteria, coliforms, and streptococci, and discusses the interpretation of results for assessing water quality and safety. The text likely serves as a reference for professionals in environmental science, public health, and water treatment, providing both theoretical background and practical laboratory procedures. While the work focuses on microbiological analysis, it may also touch upon related topics such as sampling techniques, culture media, and regulatory standards for potable and environmental waters.
