Understanding and predicting colloid transport and retention in water‐saturated porous
media is important for the protection of human and ecological health. Early applications of …

Beach sand is a habitat that supports many microbes, including viruses, bacteria, fungi and
protozoa (micropsammon). The apparently inhospitable conditions of beach sand …

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of grain size and pore
water velocity on the transport in water saturated porous media of three waterborne fecal …

In this paper we present direct observations of retention of colloids in granular porous media
over a large size range (0.21–9.0 μm) and generalize the significance of attachment in grain …

Though coliform bacteria are used worldwide to indicate faecal pollution of groundwater, the
parameters determining the transport of Escherichia coli in aquifers are relatively unknown …

To reliably assess the fate of engineered nanoparticles (ENP) in soil, it is important to
understand the performance of models employed to predict vertical ENP transport. We …

The engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) with high reactivity are promising materials for in-situ
groundwater remediation, however, their low mobility in natural porous media greatly limits …

Abstract Slow Sand Filtration is popular in drinking water treatment for the removal of a wide
range of contaminants (eg, particles, organic matter, and microorganisms). The …

Escherichia coli is a commonly used indicator organism for detecting the presence of fecal‐
borne pathogenic microorganisms in water supplies. The importance of E. coli as an …

Irrigation with surface water carrying plant pathogens poses a risk for agriculture. Managed
aquifer recharge enhances fresh water availability while simultaneously it may reduce the …
