Abstract

Develops a model of disinfectant - microbe interactions in flowing water systems and uses it to examine the relative disinfectant efficacies among organisms subjected to different water quality conditions. Investigates the influence of a variety of water quality parameters, including inorganic or organic turbidity and dissolved organic carbon, in protecting microbial populations from disinfectant action. Published in 2002.
