Microbial contamination of the Vltava River below Prague

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Surface waters are naturally inhabited by autochthonous microorganisms, which help with the self-cleaning processes. As a microbial contamination we consider the presence of microorganisms with hygienic impact (pathogenic bacteria, viruses; antibiotic resistant bacteria, and others) which are introduced into the water artificially. Their indicators are commonly determined in waters as they warn us about the faecal and organic pollution. The importance of faecal indicators monitoring in surface waters resides in the ability to maintain the state of surface waters in a condition that doesn&apos;t represent a health risk and a possibility of its dissemination. The most significant source of microbial contamination of surface waters are municipal wastewaters (WW). The main contributions to the recipient waters are purified WW from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP).To a lesser extent, free outlets or rainwater alleviators of untreated wastewater contribute.The aim of our study was to characterize the microbial contamination of the longitudinal profile of the Vltava below Prague. We determined the rate of increased health risk and the extend of the water&apos;s usability burdened by the faecal contamination caused by the discharge of Central Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWWTP). Our obtained measurements were then compared to the historical data to evaluate any possible trends in the development of water quality.
