大肠杆菌是水体中广泛使用的粪便污染指示物。外部接触和随后摄入来自粪便污染的细菌可能会对健康造成有害影响。由于大肠杆菌数据有时是有限的,这项研究的目的是利用浊度形式的二次信息来改进对未监测地点的大肠杆菌的评估。我们获得了新泽西州拉里坦河流域2000-2006年期间现有监测网络提供的所有大肠杆菌和浊度监测数据。使用配置测量,我们开发了一个根据浊度数据预测大肠杆菌的模型。使用该模型,在只测量浊度的739个空间/时间位置构建了给定浊度测量的大肠杆菌的软数据。最后,利用现代空间/时间地质统计学中的贝叶斯最大熵(BME)方法对监测和预测的大肠杆菌数据进行数据集成,以生成显示整个流域每天估计的大肠杆菌浓度的地图。软数据的加入与河流距离的使用相结合,使估计误差减少了约30%。此外,根据这些地图,在研究期间污染最严重的一天,Raritan盆地多达35%的河流英里的大肠杆菌损害概率超过90%。
Escherichia coli (E.coli) is a widely used indicator of fecal contamination in water bodies. External contact and subsequent ingestion of bacteria coming from fecal contamination can lead to harmful health effects. Since E.coli data are sometimes limited, the objective of this study is to use secondary information in the form of turbidity to improve the assessment of E.coli at un-monitored locations. We obtained all E.coli and turbidity monitoring data available from existing monitoring networks for the 2000 – 2006 time period for the Raritan River Basin, New Jersey. Using collocated measurements we developed a predictive model of E.coli from turbidity data. Using this model, soft data are constructed for E.coli given turbidity measurements at 739 space/time locations where only turbidity was measured. Finally, the Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) method of modern space/time geostatistics was used for the data integration of monitored and predicted E.coli data to produce maps showing E.coli concentration estimated daily across the river basin. The addition of soft data in conjunction with the use of river distances reduced estimation error by about 30%. Furthermore, based on these maps, up to 35% of river miles in the Raritan Basin had a probability of E.coli impairment greater than 90% on the most polluted day of the study period.
