Modeling and numerical simulation of E. coli dynamics in water body

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of monitoring water quality in public health and use of mathematical modeling to predict environmental impact. For monitoring, the E. coli indicator was chosen, and a one-dimensional hydrodynamic equation was used for mathematical simulation, which was solved using the Crank-Nilcolson method. The results of the mathematical model and developed algorithm were validated according to data from the literature.
