The sewage sludge recycling as an agricultural land resource has received a great deal of attention worldwide. This practice has highly increased because of ever-increasing municipal wastewater production and the awareness of its fertilizing potential as amendment resources. However, there is a concern about land spreading linked mainly to health associated risks due to the presence of diverse pollutants. Thus, sewage spreading management is a key factor the guarantees benefits and avoids risks. The present work aimed to investigate the benefits and risks of sewage sludge (SS) application on agricultural land. To this end, physicochemical main parameters and bacteriological indicators, fecal coliform (FC) and fecal streptococcus (FS), of the sewage sludge generated form WWTP of Skhirat, Morocco, were performed during the period 2018–2019. The obtained results of physicochemical parameters reveal high concentration of organic matter in SS, which reach 96.3 mg/l, and in nutrients. Indeed, total Kjeldahl nitrogen TKN reaches a maximum of 3791 mg/l, potassium K+ reaches 58.71 mg/l. In addition, the average content of FC and FS are around 5.40 CFU/ml and 5.85 CFU/ml, respectively, whereas total phosphorus reaches 508.25 mg/l. In addition, concentrations of micronutrients such as Cl-, SO42-, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Na+ were high, which is interesting and could benefit for both soils and plant. Furthermore, this sewage sludge contains high concentration of heavy metals, mainly zinc and copper which could limit reuse in land spreading. The obtained results were compared to the applied standards and directives established within the framework of the agricultural spreading.

The ultimate purpose behind this study is to assess the quality of water surface of Oued Inaouen and its tributaries and some underground stations before and after discharge of the city of Taza. It addresses the leachate of the unauthorized landfill of Taza which is a source of nuisance that adds to the many problems of contamination of the surrounding environment if they are not treated before discharge. This survey explains how the landfill can affect the quality of water resources near the city of Taza, represented by the main tributaries of the watershed of Oued Inaouen by determining the main parameters indicators of pollution, and to study the possibilities of contamination of groundwater and surface water by infiltration or flow of leachate. Physico-chemical results show high concentrations of organic matter, the BOD5 /COD ratio indicating a biodegradable organic fraction. As far as mineral pollution is concerned, high contents of NH4+, NO3-, total phosphorus and Cl-, which explains the high conductivity values. Bacteriological analyses show significant quantities of coliforms and fecal streptococci. For the evaluation of the pollution of groundwater and surface water, the results obtained are translated by the presence of a significant contamination that differs from one point to another.

Reliable access to safe drinking water is one necessity for humans to live without concern for major health risks. The overall goal of this research is to analyze some physic-chemical and bacteriological parameters aspects of the quality of water for human consumption. In this study, water samples were collected from January to May month of 2022 from 25 stations throughout at Suhareka Region. Considering the results of the analysis, in terms of physic-chemical the water is within the required standards, while bacteriologically it found samples with the presence of bacteria, which are the result of carelessness, old installations, or even irresponsible disinfection. Officials of Suhareka Municipality must increase the monitoring of the work in the water disinfection or chlorination process.

In order to use the purified wastewater for the irrigation of a golf course in the Taghazout area (Southwestern of Morocco), this study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical and bacteriological quality of the treated wastewater in the new Aourir plant (Activated Sludge technology). In order to achieve these objectives, three types of water were analyzed: raw water (RW), biologically treated water (BTW) and water treated by ultraviolet radiation (UV-TW). The physicochemical parameters analyzed were Temperature, pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), five-day Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Total Suspended Solids (SS), Nitrate (NO3), and Orthophosphates (PO4). Otherwise, the analyzed biological parameters are Total Coliforms (TC), Fecal Coliforms (FC), Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Fecal Streptococci (FS). The physicochemical parameters showed that temperature is always lower than 30°C, the pH is close to neutrality and a strong fluctuation of the high electrical conductivity (2700 μS/cm) occurs in UV-TW. At all stages of wastewater treatment, COD, BOD5, SS, NO3 and PO4 were below the limit values recommended by Moroccan standards. The bacteriological results showed a high level of bacterial contamination in RW and BTW, but in UV-TW the loads did not exceed 3 log10. The average loads of TC, FC, E. coli and FC in UV-TW were 2.13, 1.67, 1.77, and 2 (log10 CFU/100ml) respectively. Activated sludge treatment combined with UV has demonstrated sufficient quality to reuse treated water in irrigation; however, the UV treatment requires control to avoid any effect on the microbiological and physicochemical quality of green spaces and groundwater.

Przedstawiono wyniki badań prowadzonych w latach 1996-1998 w dolnym biegu Nysy Kłodzkiej. Próby wody pobierano z czterech stanowisk położonych powyżej i poniżej punktowych źródeł zanieczyszczeń, tj. ścieków bytowo-gospodarczych z miejscowości Lewin Brzeski i ścieków przemysłowych z cukrowni. Ocenę jakości wód sporządzono na podstawie analizy następujących parametrów chemicznych i bakteriologicznych: azot amonowy, azot azotanowy(III), azot azotanowy(V), fosforany, tlen rozpuszczony, BZT5, ChZT, miano coli. Stwierdzono, że punktowe źródła zanieczyszczeń miały istotny wpływ na sklad chemiczny wód i ich jakość, jak również stan czystości bakteriologicznej. Przy czym negatywne zmiany w większym stopniu wywołane były przez ścieki bytowo-gospodarcze.

Results of the study carried out during 1996-1998 in the lower stretch of the Nysa Kłodzka River were presented. Water samples were collected from four sampling sites localized before and after point sources of pollution, which were domestic sewages from the town of Lewin Brzeski and industrial wastewater from the sugar factory. Water quality assessment was made on the basis of analyses of the following chemical and bacteriological parameters: ammonium nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, phosphates, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), permanganate index and index coli. It was found that point sources of pollution had significant influence on water chemical composition and water quality, as well as bacteriological purity of the river. However, negative changes of the river water were caused mainly by domestic sewages.
