TLDR
In this paper, the authors present and evaluate current approaches to modeling the microbial quality of surface waters in rural watersheds and present a complete watershed scale microbial water quality model which includes subroutines which characterize the production and distribution of waste and associated microorganisms, simulate the transport of microorganisms from the land surface to receiving streams, and route microorganisms through stream networks.About:

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool: Historical Development, Applications, and Future Research Directions
TL;DR: The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model is a continuation of nearly 30 years of modeling efforts conducted by the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and has gained international acceptance as a robust interdisciplinary watershed modeling tool.

Contamination of water resources by pathogenic bacteria
TL;DR: This review paper attempts to develop the first comprehensive single source of existing information on pathogen contamination in multiple types of water resources, and describes the challenges associated with using indicator organisms.

Aquatic systems: maintaining, mixing and mobilising antimicrobial resistance?
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that aquatic systems have an important ecological and evolutionary role in driving the persistence, emergence and spread of AMR, which could have consequences when attempting to reduce its occurrence in clinical settings.

Microbial partitioning to settleable particles in stormwater.
Gregory W. Characklis,MacKenzie J. Dilts,Otto D. Simmons,Christina A. Likirdopulos,Leigh-Anne Krometis,Mark D. Sobsey +5 more
TL;DR: Estimates of the fraction of organisms associated with settleable particles in stormwater should be valuable in surface water quality modeling efforts, many of which currently assume that all microbes exist as free (unattached) organisms.

Survival of fecal microorganisms in marine and freshwater sediments.
TL;DR: It was concluded that application of the usual decay model to the fecal coliform data was confounded by the complex relationship between growth and predation.

Analysis of Escherichia coli O157:H7 survival in ovine or bovine manure and manure slurry
TL;DR: The long-term survival of E. coli O157:H7 in manure emphasizes the need for appropriate farm waste management to curtail environmental spread of this bacterium and highlights the difficulties in extrapolating laboratory data to on-farm conditions.
Movement and persistence of fecal bacteria in agricultural soils and subsurface drainage water: A review
TL;DR: Jamieson et al. as mentioned in this paper summarized the information that has been produced with respect to the survival of fecal bacteria in soil waste systems and their transport to tile drainage water.

Survival of Coliform Bacteria in Natural Waters: Field and Laboratory Studies with Membrane-Filter Chambers
TL;DR: When the survival of a water-isolated fecal coliform bacterium was examined in two adjacent mountain streams, it was found that the organism persisted longer in Bozeman Creek than in Middle Creek, and may be a reflection of the water chemistry because the concentration of inorganic constituents of the former was greater.
