Abstract Purpose of Review Fecal contamination of water is a major public health concern.
This review summarizes recent developments and advancements in water quality indicators …

Urban development pattern significantly impacts stream water quality by influencing
pollutant generation, build-up, and wash-off processes. It is thus necessary to understand …

We review different regression models related to water quality that incorporate spatial
aspects in their model. Spatial aspects refer to the location of different sites and are usually …

Identifying the origin of fecal contamination can support more effective interventions to
interrupt enteric pathogen transmission. Microbial source tracking (MST) assays may help to …

Uncovering biodiversity as an inherent feature of ecosystems and understanding its effects
on ecosystem processes is one of the most central goals of ecology. Studying organisms' …

Fecal coliform bacteria are a key indicator of human health risks; however, the
spatiotemporal variability and key influencing factors of river fecal coliform have yet to be …

Fecal contamination from sewage and agricultural runoff has been a prevailing problem in
coastal watersheds owing to accelerating human stressors and climate change in the …

Predicting in-stream water quality is necessary to support the decision-making process of
protecting healthy waterbodies and restoring impaired ones. Data-driven modeling is an …

Background Wastewater monitoring data can be used to estimate disease trends to inform
public health responses. One commonly estimated metric is the rate of change in pathogen …

Surface water monitoring and microbial source tracking (MST) are used to identify host
sources of fecal pollution and protect public health. However, knowledge of the locations of …
