Bacterial Indicator Tool (12/20/2001)
The Bacterial Indicator Tool is a spreadsheet that estimates the bacteria
contribution from multiple sources. Output from the tool is used as input
to WinHSPF and the Hydrological Simulation Program Fortran (HSPF) water
quality model in BASINS. The tool estimates the monthly accumulation rate
of fecal coliform bacteria on four land uses (cropland, forested, built-up,
and pastureland), as well as the asymptotic limit for the accumulation
should no washoff occur. The tool also estimates the direct input of fecal
coliform bacteria to streams from grazing agricultural animals and failing
septic systems.
The compressed zip file contains a starter Lotus 123 spreadsheet, a starter
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and a user's manual in PDF format.
