Fig. 1. Observed and simulated effluent concentration curves (Fig. 1a) and spatial distributions (Fig. 1b) for indigenous somatic coliphage in manure suspension in 710-, 360-, 240-, and 150-µm sand. Simulations considered 1-site kinetic deposition (Eq. [1], [3] and [4]) and corresponding model parameters are given in Table 2.

Fig. 5. Observed and simulated effluent concentration curves (Fig. 5a) and spatial distributions (Fig. 5b) for {phi}X174 and MS2 in 150-µm sand in the absence of manure suspension and at 5 and 20°C. Here simulations considered 1-site kinetic deposition according to Eq. [1], [3], and [4]. Model parameters are provided in Table 4.

Fig. 6. A semilog plot of observed and simulated somatic coliphage effluent concentration curves in 150-µm sand in the presence (indigenous somatic coliphage) and absence ({phi}X174) of manure suspension. One-site kinetic deposition model parameters are provided in Tables 2 and 4.
