Revelations of an overt water contamination

Bacteriophage as an Index of Water Contamination

Because of technical difficulties of isolating pathogenic bacteria from waters (even from waters known to be contaminated fairly recently), the presence or absence of Bacterium coli in water supplies and the relative numbers of this organism if present are recognized as indications of the presence and degree of faecal pollution. This is based on the assumption that the more bacteria of intestin...

An Investigation of Natasha Barrett’s “Industrial Revelations”

Water Contamination Detection

For the detection of contaminations in urban water supply networks we introduce a continuous optimal control model governed by partial differential equations. We derive a linear mixedinteger model by discretization of the dynamics of the partial differential equations and by approximations to the cost functional. Finally, we present numerical results for artificial and real-world networks.
