Seasonal and longitudinal water quality dynamics in three effluent-dependent rivers in Arizona
"Rivers fed by sewage treatment plant effluents are distributed globally and their share will continue to increase in the future as precipitation decreases regionally and water abstraction increases. Against this background, the question of whether such river systems are of sufficient quality as refuges for fragile aquatic communities is of enormous ecological importance and also relevant for water resource management."
