Contaminated water is globally the main vehicle for microbial pathogens in most regions. Teaching future microbiologist and employees in the food industry on the importance of hygienically satisfactory water, microbiological analyses and how to ensure good water quality and safety is highly relevant. This paper presents a complete experimental design for water analyses as a tool to teach students the methods and other key elements in microbiology, including food safety, environmental dissemination and survival of microorganisms, laboratory practices, water legislation and critical evaluation of results. All results from the last 10 classes (2006-2015) in a university course on seafood microbiology have been compiled and are presented here. Questionnaires used with former students reveal that the laboratory course is highly appreciated, and that many students remember important aspects of the water analyses, even after several years. The questionnaire results were consistent with our perception that some students find calculation of dilutions difficult to comprehend.
在全球大多数地区，受污染的水是微生物病原体的主要传播媒介。向未来的微生物学家以及食品行业的员工传授卫生状况良好的水的重要性、微生物分析以及如何确保良好的水质和安全，具有高度的相关性。本文提出了一个完整的水分析实验设计，作为一种工具，向学生传授微生物学中的方法和其他关键要素，包括食品安全、微生物在环境中的传播和存活、实验室操作、水法规以及对结果的批判性评估。这里汇总并展示了一所大学海鲜微生物学课程过去10个班级（2006 - 2015年）的所有结果。对往届学生进行的问卷调查显示，该实验室课程备受赞赏，而且许多学生即使在几年后仍记得水分析的重要方面。问卷调查结果与我们的看法一致，即一些学生觉得稀释计算难以理解。
