Getting Started

Sutra is a python package to calculate the advective removal of microbial organisms (also called ‘pathogens’) from source to end_point.

Main features:

• Includes database of removal parameters for microbial organisms.

• Calculate the removal and concentration of the microbial organism over distance, and with time

Installation

To get the latest stable version, use:

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/KWR-Water/sutra.git@main

or:

pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/KWR-Water/sutra.git@main

Philosophy

Sutra calculates the subsurface removal of microbial organisms over a distance and with time using an analytical approach. The aim is to allow for a quick assessment of subsurface removal of microbial organisms for a growing selection of species. A database was added, starting with plant pathogens ‘solani’ (Dickeya solani), ‘carotovorum’ (Pectobacterium carotovorum), and ‘solanacearum’ (Ralstonia solanacearum). Additional species will be added once more data will become available.
