Literature suggested the microbial mass experienced biphasic decay mechanisms as they being exposed to the estuarine environment. Based on the previous studies on modelling transport and decay of microbial tracers in the Loughor Estuary, the transport of these mass will be modelled as particles with the ABM adoption for interactions with the dynami...

The Loughor Estuary is a macro-tidal estuarine waterbody which is located on the North of the Bristol Channel, South West of the U.K. This estuary, with a shallow inlet, traps sand and mud from Carmarthen Bay, which are discharged from upstream catchments and resuspended through the tidal cycle in the estuary. Much of the estuary dries during low t...

The Loughor Estuary is a macro-tidal coastal basin, which is located along the Bristol Channel, in the South West of the U.K. The maximum spring tidal range in the estuary is up to 7.5 m, near the Burry Port Harbour. This estuarine region can experience severe coastal flooding during high spring tides, including extreme flooding of the intertidal s...

The Loughor Estuary is a macro-tidal coastal basin,which is located along the Bristol Channel, in the South West of the U.K. This estuarine region can experience severe coastal flooding during high springtides, as a result of the maximum spring tidal range of7.5 m, occurring near Burry Port. As the Loughor Estuary and the surrounding coastal waters...

The EU revised Bathing Water Directive (rBWD; 2006/7/EC) came into force in 2015, imposing a more stringent, water quality classification system for bathing waters on member states. This relates to the monitored concentration of E.coli and Intestinal enterococci (IE). Understanding the driving mechanisms behind non-compliance events is critical to...
