Characterizing Differences in Sources of and Contributions to Fecal Contamination of Sediment and Surface Water with the Microbial FIT Framework

Corinne Wiesner-Friedman et al.

Summary: Surface water monitoring and microbial source tracking are essential for identifying sources of fecal pollution. New framework can help identify spatial sources and their impact on human and bovine markers. Sediment samples may offer more time-integrated information compared to transient surface water.

Locating illicit discharges in storm sewers in urban areas using multi-parameter source tracking: Field validation of a toolbox composite index to prioritize high risk areas

Mounia Hachad et al.

Summary: Illicit connections to storm drain systems in urban areas can lead to untreated wastewater entering receiving waters, posing pollution risks and non-compliance issues. This study found that using human wastewater micropollutants and advanced DNA markers were effective in identifying potential cross connections, offering a sustainable solution for storm water management.

Groundwater-surface water interactions and flux of organic matter and nutrients in an urban, Mediterranean stream

Natalie Mladenov et al.

Summary: The chemical quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and the speciation of nitrogen exported from urban catchments is of great importance to biogeochemical cycling in riverine and coastal receiving waters. This study investigated the changes in concentrations of inorganic and organic solutes and DOM optical properties in Alvarado Creek, a perennially-flowing, urban, first-order tributary of the San Diego River in San Diego, CA, USA, during dry weather conditions and storm events. The results suggest that the supply of DOM and TDN was not exhausted over the duration of a storm event, whereas nitrate was eventually depleted.

Persistence of Fecal Indicators and Microbial Source Tracking Markers in Water Flushed from Riverbank Soils

Jose S. Calderon et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the persistence and decay of different microbial indicators in contaminated riverbank soils. The findings showed that microbial indicators could still be detected in flush water months after contamination, with PMMoV persisting the longest and E. coli degrading the most rapidly. The study also highlighted the importance of using multiple human-associated fecal indicators to distinguish pollution from different microbial groups in water bodies.

Environmental injustice and Escherichia coli in urban streams: Potential for community-led response

Lacey J. Davis et al.

Summary: Escherichia coli, as fecal indicator bacteria, enter waterbodies through aging and failing infrastructure. Exposure to untreated sewage can cause gastrointestinal disease. The burden of this contamination is unequally distributed, with Black, Indigenous, and communities of color suffering disproportionately. New approaches, such as community-led initiatives and mycofiltration, are needed to address this issue.

An Assessment of Ambient Water Quality and Challenges with Access to Water and Sanitation Services for Individuals Experiencing Homelessness in Riverine Encampments

Matthew E. Verbyla et al.

Summary: Research found detectable levels of caffeine and sucralose in water samples near homeless encampments, suggesting anthropogenic contamination sources. However, there was insufficient evidence to show that the encampments were major contributors to river pollution. Service providers believe providing water and sanitation services to this population would be expensive, and most riverbank residents avoid contact with service providers, posing challenges for service provision.
