Microbial Source Tracking in the Santa Cruz River, Rio Rico, Arizona

Detailed Description

Scientists in the Ohio Water Microbiology Laboratory are involved in numerous studies with a variety of cooperators with the primary goal of helping to characterize the dominant sources of fecal contamination in impacted waters. Two Arizona Water Science Center scientists pictured here are conducting reconnaissance work along the Santa Cruz River as part of a USGS-National Park Service Partnership project aimed at gaining a better understanding of fecal contamination inputs to the River. Arizona WSC scientists have been working with microbiologists in the OWML to complete this study.
