This paper describes the initial phases of an ongoing research program aimed at determining sources of pathogenic microorganisms within a watershed. Preliminary modeling was be used to develop an effective and efficient monitoring program to maximize information regarding the origins of selected pathogens by determining appropriate sampling locations, frequency of sampling, and other environmental data necessary for predicting pathogen survival and transport. The objectives of this research were to develop a model that would be used to evaluate management alternatives aimed at reducing pathogen loads to a watercourse used as a drinking water source for half a million people in southwestern Ontario, Canada. Includes 39 references, figures.
