Metals such as (Ni, Cu, Mn, Cr, Co, Fe, Pb, Cd, Zn, K, Mg and Li) and nutrients (SO4 2−, NO3 N) showed strong loadings indicated input from untreated discharge of municipal waste, surface runoff and solid waste into streams in pre-monsoon season.
The source of municipal water was surface water ("Río Quindio") provided through the aqueduct system which existed before the earthquake.
Caffeine has been identified as a marker for anthropogenic contamination in both municipal sewage and surface waters (Daneshvar et al. 2012).
Nitrate concentrations of up to 1700 (µg/l) have been reported for all tested sites of Shatt Al-Arab River where municipal wastewater flows into surface water.
Rela et al. (2000) studied that the electron beam irradiation processing is a promising technology to treat sludge, groundwater, surface water, municipal and industrial wastewater.
The release of a multitude of pollutants from untreated municipal wastewater (UMWW) to surface waters may have adverse effects on aquatic wildlife including endocrine disruption.
Based on FA/PCA, parent rock material, soil weathering, municipal and poultry waste, surface runoff from urban and agricultural land, automobile and laundry washing are the main source of inputs of contaminants into the feeding streams of Rawal Lake Reservoir.
A number of studies have been conducted to characterize the endocrine potential of municipal effluents [24, 25], surface water [26 28] and sediments [26, 27, 29, 30], and there has been increasing awareness of the need for testing approaches targeting EDCs to be included into current environmental assessments and monitoring [31 36].
