Predictive models, based on environmental and water quality variables, have been used to
improve the timeliness and accuracy of recreational water quality assessments, but their …

Predictive modeling for Escherichia coli concentrations at effluent-dominated beaches may
be a favorable alternative to current, routinely criticized monitoring standards. The ability to …

Data collected from four Lake Erie beaches during the recreational seasons of 2004-05 and
from one Lake Erie beach during 2000-2005 were used to develop predictive models for …

The need for rapid assessments of recreational water quality to better protect public health is
well accepted throughout the research and regulatory communities. Rapid analytical …

As contact with high concentrations of pathogens in a waterbody can cause waterborne
diseases, Escherichia coli is commonly used as an indicator of water quality in routine public …

To understand the fate and movement of Escherichia coli in beach water, numerous
modeling studies have been undertaken including mechanistic predictions of currents and …

To determine more accurately the real‐time concentration of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in
beach water, predictive modeling has been applied in several locations around the Great …

Statistical and mechanistic models are popular tools for predicting the levels of indicator
bacteria at recreational beaches. Researchers tend to use one class of model or the other …

Public concern over microbial contamination of recreational waters has increased in recent
years. A common approach to evaluating beach water quality has been to use the …
