Total coliform (TC) guideline value is 50 TC/100mlFecal coliform (FC) guideline value is 200 E coli/100 mL or 200 fecal coliforms/100 mL
Coliform bacteria is associated with fecal matter, and since rain does not come in contact with fecal matter before hitting the ground, it should not contain coliform bacteria.
No it shouldn't be capitalized.
A coliform count is a microbiological assay of the number of coliform-type bacteria living in a certain sample. This is often used as a measure of fecal contamination of water supplies.
Fecal coliforms have the ability to ferment lactose at 44C +/- 0.05C while regular coliforms ferment lactose at 35C-37C
Coliform in well water is the presence of fecal matter in the well water. If the bacteria is found in drinking water, appropriate action needs to be taken.
Somebody (or something) is using the river as a toilet.
Coliforms are rod shaped gram negative bacteria that are often in well water. Not all coliform are harmful, but those of fecal origin are very harmful. The lab coliform count determines what type and how many coliform are in a water sample. This result is always marked "fit for human use" or "NOT fit for human use".
FCB means fecal coliform bacteria - rod-shaped bacteria usually found in the feces.

Fertilizers, pH levels, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and fecal coliform (for those of you who do not know what that is, it's bacteria found in poo.)
