Monitoring faecal contamination and relationship of physicochemical variables with faecal indicator bacteria numbers in Bukavu surface waters, tributaries of Lake Kivu in Democratic Republic of Congo

The faecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in association with physicochemical parameters were monitored twice a month from 2017 to 2019 in the Kahuwa (KW), Wesha (WS), Tshula (TL), Bwindi (BN), and Nyamuhiga (NG) rivers and their tributaries. Results showed severe faecal contamination of waters compared t...
