The objectives of this study were to identify and evaluate alternative approaches to detecting enteric viruses in groundwater and other waters. Several approaches are considered for the recovery and assay of human enteric viruses including cell cultures, nucleic acid amplification and hybridization, a combination of these methods, and the use of indicators or surrogates. The advantages and disadvantages of these four methods are evaluated on the basis of criteria that are relevant to the needs of the proposed Ground Water Disinfection Rule, regulators and the regulated community. The criteria used to evaluate the alternatives are: reliability in detecting or predicting the presence of human enteric viruses, including specificity, sensitivity and related measures; technical complexity; and, simplicity, practicality, speed and cost.
