Hydrometeorological and physicochemical drivers of fecal indicator bacteria in urban stream bottom sediments.

Abstract:

:High levels of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) are the leading cause of surface water quality impairments in the United States. Watershed-scale models are commonly used to identify relative contributions of watershed sources and to evaluate the effectiveness of remediation strategies. However, most existing models simplify FIB transport behavior as equivalent to that of dissolved-phase contaminants, ignoring the impacts of sediment on the fate and transport of FIB. Implementation of sediment-related processes within existing models is limited by minimal available monitoring data on sediment FIB concentrations for model development, calibration, and validation purposes. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate FIB levels in the streambed sediments as compared to those in the water column and to identify environmental variables that influence water and underlying sediment FIB levels. Concentrations of and enterococci in the water column and sediments of an urban stream were monitored weekly for 1 yr and correlated with a variety of potential hydrometeorological and physicochemical variables. Increased FIB concentrations in both the water column and sediments were most strongly correlated with increased antecedent 24-h rainfall, increased stream water temperature, decreased dissolved oxygen, and decreased specific conductivity. These observations will support future efforts to incorporate sediment-related processes in existing models through the identification of key FIB relationships with other model inputs, and the provision of sediment FIB concentrations for direct model calibration. In addition, identified key variables can be used in quick evaluation of the effectiveness of potential remediation strategies.
