Microbiological quality of waters must be assessed to ensure that no health risk due to
pathogenic microorganisms is associated with its use. As it is impossible to measure the …

This study developed a model simulating the seasonal and spatial variations of
microbiological water quality (expressed in terms of Escherichia coli concentrations) in …

The microbiological quality of urban wastewaters presents important environmental,
sanitary, and political challenges. However, the variability of untreated wastewater quality is …

Modeling fecal contamination in water bodies is of importance for microbiological risk
assessment and management. This study investigated the transport of fecal coliform (eg, up …

The Seine estuary, one of the largest estuaries of the European northwest continental shelf,
is subjected to numerous anthropogenic influences. Here we present an assessment of the …

Recent observations in the tidal Scheldt River and Estuary revealed a poor microbiological
water quality and substantial variability of this quality which can hardly be assigned to a …

In order to simulate the long-term (months–years) median Escherichia coli distributions and
variations in the tidal Scheldt River and Estuary, a dedicated module was developed for the …

A three-dimensional fecal coliform transport model was developed and incorporated into a
hydrodynamic model to obtain a better understanding of local microbiological water quality …

A laterally averaged two-dimensional fecal coliform transport model incorporated into
hydrodynamic and salt modules was developed to simulate the fate and transport of fecal …

Fecal contamination of surface water resource is a major health concern primarily due to the
potential for pathogenic organisms to be transmitted to human by contaminated water. In …
