水处理专业人员一般都知道 关于病原体命运和运输的问题 在流域内。然而，并非所有的水处理 专业人士从事的是科学领域，他们也不都有相同的专业知识 对正在进行的国际项目范围的了解程度 为解决这个问题而进行的研究。 为了应对目前缺乏生物物理定量数据的问题 以及驱动病原体存活和存活的化学参数 在流域交通方面，作者创建了一个概念模型 水源供应商可以将其作为一个起点 创建自己的病原体风险评估，并优先考虑 针对已发现的知识差距进行研究。这些发现使我们感到惊讶 可以确定下一步的研究步骤，并将重点放在 作为基础的化学、物理和生物过程 病原体的运输和衰减，同时避免复制 研究工作。 包括23个参考文献、表格和图表。

Water treatment professionals are generally aware of the issues regarding the fate and transport of pathogens within watersheds. However, not all water treatment professionals are in a scientific field nor do they all have the same level of knowledge of the range of international projects being conducted to address this issue. To counter a current lack of quantitative data on the biophysical and chemical parameters that drive pathogen survival and transport in watersheds, the authors created a conceptual model of a watershed that water suppliers can use as a starting point to create their own pathogen risk assessment and to prioritize their research to target identified knowledge gaps. These findings make it possible to identify the next steps for research and focus on the chemical, physical, and biological processes that underpin pathogen transport and attenuation while avoiding duplicative research efforts.
