Relationships between abiotic and biotic variables in a maturation pond and their influence on E. coli removal
The effects of depth and climate seasonality on zooplankton, algal biomass, coliforms and Escherichia coli in a small full-scale shallow maturation pond receiving pre-treated domestic wastewater were evaluated during a tropical climatic seasonal cycle. The experiment revealed that the zooplankton co...

The variables pH, DO, zooplankton community and solar radiation are shown to be determining factors in reducing E. coli in a maturation pond.;
Zooplankton concentrations were greater closer to the bottom of the pond.;
E. coli removal varied between the three different depths reinforcing the role of solar radiation on bacterial removal rate.; |
