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.
