Acknowledgments Funding for this work from the Scottish Government’s Hydro Nation Scholars Programme is gratefully acknowledged. Many thanks to Audrey Innes, Jonathan Dick, Claire Tunaley and Bernhard Scheliga for their assistance in analysing the isotope samples. In addition, thanks to Allan Sim, Duncan White and, in particular, Claire Abel and Adam Wyness for instruction and training on microbiological sampling and analysis techniques. Simulations with EcH2O-iso and MAFIO were undertaken on the Maxwell high performance computing cluster funded by the University of Aberdeen. Sylvain Kuppel and Aaron Smith are thanked for their assistance in troubleshooting occasional issues with EcH2O-iso.182234299engSDG 15 - Life on LandDiffuse pollutionE. coliEcH2O-isoMicrobial water qualityTracer-aided modellingWater quality modellingMANAGEMENTEcH(2)O-isoHYDROLOGICAL CONNECTIVITYPERFORMANCEESCHERICHIA-COLIRISKCONTAMINATIONE.
