Water treatment professionals are generally aware of the
issues regarding the fate and transport of pathogens
within watersheds. However, not all water treatment
professionals are in a scientific field nor do they all have the same
level of knowledge of the range of international projects being
conducted to address this issue.
To counter a current lack of quantitative data on the biophysical
and chemical parameters that drive pathogen survival and
transport in watersheds, the authors created a conceptual model
of a watershed that water suppliers can use as a starting point to
create their own pathogen risk assessment and to prioritize their
research to target identified knowledge gaps. These findings make
it possible to identify the next steps for research and focus on the
chemical, physical, and biological processes that underpin
pathogen transport and attenuation while avoiding duplicative
research efforts.
