  abstract = {{L}ack of access to clean water and adequate sanitation continues to be a major brake on development. {H}ere we present the results of a 12-month investigation into the dynamics of {E}scherichia coli, a commonly used indicator of faecal contamination in water supplies, in three small, rural catchments in {L}aos, {T}hailand and {V}ietnam. {W}e show that land use and hydrology are major controlling factors of {E}. coli concentrations in streamwater and that the relative importance of these two factors varies between the dry and wet seasons. {I}n all three catchments, the highest concentrations were observed during the wet season when storm events and overland flow were highest. {H}owever, smaller peaks of {E}. coli concentration were also observed during the dry season. {T}hese latter correspond to periods of intense farming activities and small, episodic rain events. {F}urthermore, vegetation type, through land use and soil surface crusting, combined with mammalian presence play an important role in determining {E}. coli loads in the streams. {F}inally, sampling during stormflow revealed the importance of having appropriate sampling protocols if information on maximum contamination levels is required as grab sampling at a fixed time step may miss important peaks in {E}. coli numbers.},
