mr. flea's working title for his current project is: On the Origin of Feces: Source Characterization of Pathogenic Contamination in Agriculturally-Impacted Watersheds.

And yes, it is about tracking back where bad germs (like e. coli) that come from animal shit came from, when they end up in public waters, like rivers and lakes.

Great title. His bosses will never let it fly.

As a side note, one of my coworkers used to do environmental sampling in that area. He refers to it as fishing for brown trout.

*cackles* I once gave a poster titled "Culvert Ops," about dating methods for highway drainage features, so I entirely sympathize with Mr. F's urge, there.

Dude, there is e coli in my public water Right Now, and it ain't fuckin' great, let me just tell you. Can he track back where mine came from, so that they can fix it and clean it and shock chlorinate pronto?

Because it's just upsetting, I tell you what.
