Abstract

Develops mathematical models in a form that would allow users with different levels of information to estimate the likely ranges in concentrations and loads for key pathogens (such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, and pathogenic E. coli) from general classes of watershed land use, slope, soil type, rainfall, and vegetation status.
