“…Its main tributary is the Valdetrigo stream, merging from the northeast (Molina-Navarro et al 2011), and the upper catchment is dominated by a limestone plateau, giving calcareous alkalinity to the water. Natural vegetation is the main land coverage (37% of the catchment area is covered by forest and 36% by scrubland), and agricultural surface covers approximately 25% of the catchment, mainly governed by non-irrigated cereal crops (17%).…”

“…High biovolume percentages of group X2 in winter 2009 and 2011 also reveal a deterioration of trophic conditions, probably related to high flow volumes in the Ompólveda River and the consequent influx of a higher nutrient load into the Pareja limno-reservoir (Molina-Navarro et al 2011, 2012. Groups P, MP and D abundances found in winter may also be related to high discharges from the Ompólveda River.…”

“…[6] In contrast, bioremediation technology, including the aspects of microbial remediation, phytoremediation, animal remediation, such as earthworm, enzyme remediation and ecological restoration technology, have become a novel and popular alternative to control eutrophication due to its eco-friendly feature and low cost. [7][8][9] To remediate water eutrophication, focuses should be given priority to N and P. [10,11] Micro-organism, as an important member in biosphere, is well known and has been increasingly applied in environmental fields based on its high reproduction rate, high anti-adversity and high specific surface area. [12,13] To date, microbial remediation technology has been developing for more than a century in wastewater treatment since the US environmental protection agency (USEPA) paid full attention to recover the oil spill contamination off the coast of Alaska, in 1898.…”

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the two main factors causing water eutrophication. Immobilized micro-organisms have been widely studied in N and P removal. However, the effects of various immobilizing conditions on the removal efficiency of N and P using immobilized micro-organism beads (IMOBs) remain unclear. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and alginate, as the two frequently immobilizing-used matrixes, were used for co-immobilizing Pseudomonas stutzeri YHA-13 and Alcaligenes sp. ZGED-12. PVA, alginate and CaCl₂contents, immobilization time and different wet biomass ratios of P. stutzeri to Alcaligenes sp. were conducted to elucidate their roles in and influences on the removal efficiency of N and P from synthetic wastewater. The application potential of IMOBs was estimated as well. Results showed that IMOBs prepared by cross-link of 4% PVA and 2-3% alginate with 5% CaCl₂and saturated boric acid solution for 10-15 min are the best ones in removal of N and P. Though IMOBs containing P. stutzeri and/or Alcaligenes sp. were capable of removal of the two nutrients, the highest removal efficiency was observed when the wet biomass ratio of P. stutzeri to Alcaligenes sp. was adjusted to 2:2. In addition, the IMOBs were of good ability to remove chemical oxygen demand (COD), NO(3)(-), NO(2)(-), NH(4)(+)- N, total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) from artificial wastewater. Of which, micro-organisms immobilized in matrixes were mainly responsible for NO(3)(-) and TP removal. Therefore, P. stutzeri YHA-13 and Alcaligenes sp. ZGED-12 are reliable bioresources to remove N and P from wastewater.

“…There have been a few studies in which the occurrence of microbiological indicators of surface water quality was investigated along the physicochemical parameters of water in different types of surface water and in different environments (Cabral and Marques 2006;Molina-Navarro et al 2011;Nnane et al 2011). However, there are conflicting reports on the relationship of these two groups of water quality parameters particularly in the case of applying simple statistical methods.…”

The aim of this 2-year study was to examine the temporal changes in the concentration of microbiological indicators of water contamination and selected physicochemical parameters within the Białka river and its selected tributaries in the vicinity of the largest ski station in Białka Tatrzańska. The study involved 24 series of sampling in eight sites throughout the Białka river and on its selected tributaries. Temperature, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC 25°C ) were measured onsite. The microbiological assays included the numbers of mesophilic and psychrophilic bacteria, Staphylococcus spp. and Salmonella spp., as well as coliforms, thermotolerant (fecal) coliforms, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and sulfate-reducing Clostridium. The chemical analyses were conducted to determine the concentration of NH 4 + , NO 2 − , NO 3 − , and PO 4 3−. The analyses showed that contrary to common opinion, waters of the Białka river are strongly polluted in some sections. Seasonal variation in the prevalence of microbial indicators of fecal pollution was found, and the largest numbers of microorganisms were observed in winter ski season, followed by summer holidays. Similar seasonal pattern was observed in the examined chemical parameters. There was also very strong spatial variation within the tested microbial and chemical parameters, indicating the presence of pollution hotspots in the course of the Białka river. The employed principal component analysis revealed the presence of two main pollution sources, mainly affecting the quality of river water, i.e., fecal contamination of human origin and the natural source in the form of surface runoff and soil leaching. These factors, depending on the location of the sampling site, occurred in different configurations.
