Abstract
Streams in arid and semi-arid biomes are often dependent on their flow from municipal sources, such as wastewater effluent. However, wastewater has been shown to contain high concentrations of nutrients and chemical pollutants that can potentially harm aquatic ecosystems and their biota. Understanding if and the type of microorganisms that respond to pollution sources, specifically effluent from wastewater treatment facilities, in regions where flow is predominantly from treatment facilities, is critical for developing a predictive monitoring approach for eutrophication or other ecological degradation states for freshwaters.
