Abstract: The model developed in this paper, the bacteria loading estimator spreadsheet tool (BLEST), was designed as an easy to use indicator bacteria model that can overcome the shortcomings of many of the simpler total maximum ...

Abstract: A modeling approach based on mass balance coupled with the Hydrologic Simulation Program in FORTRAN (HSPF) is developed in this study to evaluate bacteria reduction strategies and their impact on water quality for an urban ...

Abstract: A pathogen impaired watershed in Houston, Tex., was studied to assess the spatial and temporal nature of point and nonpoint bacterial load contributions. End-of-pipe sampling at wastewater treatment plant effluent and storm ...

Abstract: Biodegradation has recently emerged as an effective process for contaminant attenuation in aquifers. In this paper the writers present the development of a two‐dimensional model (BIOPLUME II) for contaminant transport ...

Abstract: A natural attenuation model that simulates the aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation of fuel hydrocarbons was developed. The resulting model, BIOPLUME III, demonstrates the importance of biodegradation in reducing contaminant ...

Abstract: Bacterial levels in Buffalo Bayou in Houston commonly exceed contact recreation standards. Potential sources of bacteria include wastewater treatment plants, sanitary sewer overflows, septic systems, wet and dry nonpoint-source ...

Abstract: Predictive equations for the harmonic mean flow; the 7-day, 2-year low-flow (7Q2); and the 7-day, 10-year low-flow (7Q10) of ungauged Texas streams are developed using multiple regression analysis based on meteorological ...
