| contents | <p>This study presents an integrated modeling approach, utilizing the HyEco-R framework, to understand the transport and fate of <em>Escherichia coli</em> (<em>E. coli</em>) and to assess associated human health risks in Delhi, the national capital territory of India. Hydrodynamic simulations, performed using a 3-way coupled hydrodynamic model in MIKE+, provided essential insights into flow dynamics. These were coupled with a water quality model, developed in MIKE+ ECO Lab, to simulate <em>E. coli</em> concentrations under varying environmental conditions. The model outputs reveal critical hotspots and periods of elevated <em>E. coli</em> levels, highlighting the influence of contaminated urban floodwaters on bacterial transport. Subsequently, the simulated <em>E. coli</em> concentrations were used to develop human health risk maps, identifying areas and populations vulnerable to waterborne pathogen exposure. The findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of microbial contamination pathways and provide valuable insights for targeted water resource management strategies to mitigate public health risks.</p> |
