| contents | Indicator Bacteria-Based Assessment of Microbial Contamination with Wastewater-Agriculture-Health Nexus: Implication for Irrigation Water Safety in Gelan, Ethiopia. Gudisa, Iyasu Mengistie, Bezatu Desta, Adey Feleke Alemayehu, Haile Gari, Sirak Robele Urban rivers in rapidly urbanizing low-income countries frequently receive untreated wastewater, converting downstream irrigation systems into persistent exposure interfaces within a wastewater-agriculture-health nexus. This study quantified Escherichia coli and total coliform concentrations in irrigation water from 16 sites along the Akaki and Dongora Rivers in Gelan, Ethiopia, over 7 weeks (n = 112) using membrane filtration on CHROMagar™ ECC to assess spatiotemporal fecal contamination loads. Indicator bacteria were detected at all locations, with concentrations routinely surpassing internationally accepted limits for irrigation water by several orders of magnitude. The Escherichia coli concentrations ranged from 1.10 × 10 to 2.82 × 10 CFU/100 mL and total coliforms from 1.13 × 10 to 2.95 × 10 CFU/100 mL, with Akaki River loads substantially higher than the Dongora River ( |
