Abstract

We have studied systematically during the period of one year (February 1979-January 1980) the factors affecting the contamination in the river Mula basin (Murcia, Spain). We have determined the most typical physico- chemical parameters, such as: water temperature, suspended soHds, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, BOD5, COD, and nitrogen as ammonia and nitrate. It has been checked a high level of contamination from organic materials, caused essentially by sewage and canning industries wastewaters, and by the slight and discontinuous river flow.
