“…Water resources and water quality in urban environments around the world are increasingly stressed due to population growth and rapid land use change [6,7]. Regional case studies demonstrate that urbanization could increase levels of coliform bacteria [8,9], heavy metals [10,11], and other water indicators of streams, lakes, and rivers, including dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, pH, total hardness, and other chemicals [12,13]. In recently years, many studies were carried out on pollution source identification [14][15][16], early warning of water pollution [17,18], pollutant event detection [19,20], and water treatment and disinfection [21,22] to explain the influencing factors of drinking water quality.…”

Abstract:Urbanization is an inevitable trend in historical development, but eco-environmental problems, including drinking water safety, have gradually become more and more outstanding during the process of rural urbanization. Ten districts in rural areas of Beijing, China were selected to study the effects of urbanization on drinking water quality. The relation between the urbanization index and drinking water quality indicators were explored. The influence of the urbanization process on drinking water quality showed that housing construction, population urbanization, energy consumption, and industrialization during urban development were closely related to drinking water quality. The paired t-test showed the total electricity consumption, living electricity consumption, tertiary industry, and the GDP growth rate had boundary (p = 0.06) or significantly positive (p < 0.05) relations with the qualified rate of rural drinking water. The grey correlation analysis showed that the growth rates of the value-added of housing construction areas were the most important factor affecting comprehensive water quality of Beijing rural areas, followed by the growth rates of the value-added by secondary industry and total electricity consumption, and then the growth rates of the value-added by the tertiary industry and GDP. Urbanization had a significant impact on individual water quality indicators. The results of this study provided some supports for drinking water security in the face of urbanization.

“…These results indicate that most Cd concentrations are higher than the MPCL recommended by JISM (0.003 mg/l). Also, the results show that all Fe concentrations are lower than the MPCL recommended by JISM (1.0 mg/l) [18][19]. Comparing the results of this study with similar studies shows that the mean concentrations of Cd are higher than those obtained from the surface water of Ganga (0.005 mg/l) [20], while the mean concentrations of Fe are lower than those obtained from the same area (0.8 mg/l).…”

“…When comparing the Atoyac River with other urban rivers in other countries that flow by metropolitan zones [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54], it is observed that the Atoyac River contamination in Puebla City is severe in terms of COD, BOD 5 , TC, and FC and contains a highly pathogenic bacterial presence. This represents a public health threat due to the fact that these water resources are used to irrigate crops.…”

Abstract:The Atoyac River crosses the metropolitan area of Puebla-Tlaxcala in Mexico and presents a state of pollution that has been scarcely studied. In 2016, the water quality of the river was evaluated based on physicochemical and bacteriological parameters, under the guidelines established for the Maximum Permissible Limit (MPL) for Aquatic Life Protection (ALP) and Agricultural Irrigation (AI). The sampling sites were the Covadonga Dam, the Echeverría Dam, and an irrigation canal. Water from wells and a spring in the Emilio Portes Gil (EPG) population that uses Atoyac water for agricultural irrigation was also analyzed. The data obtained from the river were compared with the 2011 data published in the declaration of classification of Atoyac and Xochiac or Hueyapan and its tributaries. There was a notable increase in hemical oxygen demand (COD) (49%) and in heavy metals with varying percentages. The anoxic condition of the river (mean 1.47 mg of O 2 /L) with large populations of coliform bacteria was demonstrated, 11 pathogenic members of the Enterobacteriaceae were found, and high organic pollution concentrations were shown, particularly during droughts. Irrigation and well water was contaminated with fecal bacteria (104-549 NMP/100 mL), which included pathogens.
