For a better understanding of the short and mid-term impacts of a combined sewer overflow
(CSO) on the microbiological quality of the receiving river, we studied the composition of a …

The Seine river watershed (France) is a deeply anthropogenically impacted area, due to the
high population density, intense industrial activities and intensive agriculture. The water …

Maintaining standard water quality of aquatic ecosystems requires continuous monitoring of
water physicochemical and bacteriological characteristics. This study aimed at assessing …

The Scheldt watershed is characterized by a high population density, intense industrial
activities and intensive agriculture and breeding. A monthly monitoring (n= 16) of the …

Microbiological water quality is traditionally assessed using culture-based enumeration of
faecal indicator bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Despite their relative ease of use, these …

In many karst regions in developing countries, the populations often suffer from poor
microbial water quality and are frequently exposed to bacterial pathogens. The high …

Water samples were collected from three different sites of the Biga Stream (Canakkale,
Turkey) in the months of October 2007–September 2008 for the analyzing of some physico …

This study developed a model simulating the seasonal and spatial variations of
microbiological water quality (expressed in terms of Escherichia coli concentrations) in …

Anthropogenic activities such as agriculture, industry and climate change have been
creating an enormous pressure on freshwater ecosystems leading to its degradation …

Attachment of fecal bacteria to suspended matter in the water column has important
implications for its fate in rivers. We examined the part of Escherichia coli (E. coli) associated …
