ambre: Multi-Barrier Approach for Water Reuse Risk Assessment

Provides a Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) framework for the reuse of treated wastewater in agricultural irrigation. Following a multi-barrier approach, the package simulates pathogen inflow and removal along a treatment train, estimates human exposure, and computes health risk indicators such as infection probability, illness probability, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). It also supports an economic analysis of the treatment scenarios considered. For more details see <doi:10.36904/20240595>.
