Pathogens carried by urban stormwater runoff are among the leading causes of water body impairment in the United States. This special collection brings together the latest research and advances in the state-of-the-practice on pathogens and fecal indicators in stormwater. Papers in this collection will assist local governments, stormwater managers, design engineers, technology developers and researchers who are striving to manage health risks and environmental impacts of human and animal fecal contamination and comply with federal Clean Water Act requirements.
