Abstract: This study employs a computational fluid dynamics approach to investigate the impact of microbial sources on water quality in Swansea Bay, UK. Two models have been set up using TELEMAC-2D and TELEMAC-3D, covering the period from October � November 2012. The results indicate the importance of using a high horizontal grid resolution in proximity to submerged outfalls to accurately capture the shape of the effluent plume. The 3D model was able to accurately capture variations in Escherichia coli concentration throughout the day whereas the 2D model was incapable
