Variability of E. coli in streambed sediment and its implication for sediment sampling

Sadia Salam et al.

Summary: E. coli is the top cause of water quality impairments in rivers and streams in South Dakota and the U.S. Sediment can act as a reservoir for bacteria, but there is limited understanding of E. coli variability in sediments. The study highlights the high spatial variability of E. coli in sediments, indicating that a single grab sample may not accurately represent E. coli concentrations.

Land use, geology and soil properties control nutrient concentrations in headwater streams

Faruk Djodjic et al.

Summary: Nutrient losses from small headwater catchments can lead to downstream eutrophication issues. The proportion of arable land has a strong positive effect on nutrient concentrations, while forest and wetland can reduce nutrient concentrations in streams. Certain soil properties, influenced by geological composition, play a key role in nutrient losses. By using soil properties as a link between geology and water quality, potentially sensitive areas were identified, with sedimentary bedrock regions showing higher dissolved nutrient concentrations.

Exploration of E. coli contamination drivers in private drinking water wells: An application of machine learning to a large, multivariable, geo-spatio-temporal dataset

Katie White et al.

Summary: Groundwater resources in Ontario, Canada are facing increasing threats from contamination and overuse, with well characteristics, sampling frequencies, and microbiological contamination indicators (specifically E. coli) being important factors. Analysis of a dataset from over 250,000 unique wells revealed that bedrock wells in sedimentary or igneous rock are more susceptible to contamination, shallow wells pose a greater risk to consumers, and well testing practices are influenced by previous test results. Further exploration of these trends is needed to understand the bases for such occurrences.
