Man's Impact on the Eutrophication of a Lotic System.

Abstract

Two rivers having similar geological and climatic conditions were studied in relation to man's impact on the eutrophication of the aquatic environment. The biological parameter of biomass accumulation (mgs chlorophyll a per square meter) and observations of the floral composition of the periphyton community were used. Results indicated that significant biological differences were present between a polluted and non-polluted stream. (Author)
