Abstract

Characterizes the physicochemical interactions of key pathogen groups associated with sediment and organic matter in watersheds. Also identifies and quantifies pathogen sources, fate, and hydrologic transport under various environmental conditions to enable the development of water quality modules for incorporation into hydrologic and hydrodynamic models of watersheds, streams, and reservoirs. Includes a CD-ROM. Published in 2005.
