Fig. 4. (a) Observed and simulated effluent concentration curves and (b) spatial distributions for Giardia in the 710-, 360-, and 150-µm sands in the absence of manure suspension. Here simulations considered deposition according to Eq. [1]Go to [3] and corresponding model parameters are provided in Table 3.
