Bacteria in urban drainage systems - literature review

This report summaries available information on the behaviour of bacteria in urban drainage systems. The report has been prepared as a preliminary step towards the modelling of bacteria in MOSQITO and/or QUDOS, the sewer flow quality models currently under development at Hydraulics Research Limited... It is anticipated that simulation of bacterial quality will be required to coordinate with receiving water impact models and recreational water quality standards such as the EC Bathing Beaches Directive.
