Introduction

Welcome to the Stormwater Engineering Group's pathogen (indicator bacteria) transport and removal website. The BAE Stormwater Engineering Group is a team consisting of tenure and non-tenure track faculty, graduate students, part-time associates, and off-campus Extension Faculty. Our mission is to "learn and teach" stormwater management and cover the three main aspects of a land-grant university: (1) applied research, (2) extension and engagement, and (3) on- and off-campus teaching.

Specifically, this website is designed to educate the public on how pathogens (indicator bacteria) are generated, transported, and potentially removed in urban stormwater systems. Research being performed on this topic by the Stormwater Engineering Group in the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering is also discussed.

We hope this website provides you with a basic understanding of pathogens and indicator bacteria in stormwater, and provides you with additional, beneficial resources for your further education
