Effect of turbulence on E.coli viability: a simulation of Combined Sewage Overflow (CSO) discharge in the Great Lakes​

The purpose of this project is to quantify the flow parameters of E. Coli by performing laboratory experiments. The set-up is a jet discharging into a larger tank. E.coli is collected at different locations and allowed to grow for 48 hours. Then, E.coli colonies are quantified.

​

Student Tasks and Responsibilities: Perform the lab experiment and assist in the data analysis.
