AB  - This paper details a numerical model developed to predict the fate and transport 
      of faecal bacteria in receiving surface waters. The model was first validated by 
      comparing model predicted faecal bacteria concentrations with available field 
      measurements. The model simulations agreed well with the observation data. After 
      calibration, the model was applied to investigate the effects of different 
      parameters, including: tidal processes, river discharges from the upstream 
      boundaries and bacteria inputs from the upstream boundaries, wastewater treatment 
      works (WwTWs), rivers and combined sewer overflows (CSO), on the concentrations 
      of faecal bacteria in the Ribble Estuary. The results revealed that the tide and 
      upstream boundary bacteria inputs were the primary factors controlling the 
      distribution of faecal bacteria. The bacteria inputs from the WwTWs in the model 
      domain were generally found not to have a significant impact on distribution of 
      faecal bacteria in the estuary.
