| description | Groundwater protection from pollutants depends mostly on retention potentials of soil above groundwater table. Soil separating soil surface from groundwater table is made up of several layers and can be divided into different columns along its vertical transect. Wastewater percolation tests were carried out through one soil column CA, in contact with soil surface and through another CB, closely above groundwater table. The aim of the study was to assess the importance of soil columns CA and CB, in total coliforms and staphylococci retention during wastewater infiltration or groundwater recharge, in equatorial soils in Central African region. The results showed that, the fraction of total coliforms retained through soil column CA varied with respect to wastewater loads applied on top of soil column, from 69.22% to 99.95%, relative to the total coliforms concentration deposited on top. The fraction of total coliforms retained through CB varied with respect to wastewater loads applied, from 96.98 to 99.89% relative to the total coliforms deposited on top. Through both soil columns, fractions of staphylococci retained was in the order of 99.99% relative to the total staphylococci concentration deposited on top. For the whole bacteriological analysis, the fractions of total coliforms retained seems to be greater through deeper soil column than that of upper soil column. The bacterial contaminants retained relative to their concentrations in wastewater poured on soil column surfaces, varied from 6.17 log units to 9.73 log units. An applied load of 100 ml seemed to lead to the bacterial pollutants transported through both soil columns studied. NH sub(4) super(+) was retained by fractions varying from 97.37 to 98.74%. Concentrations of various contaminants found in groundwater would be a tiny part, relative to quantities deposited on soil surface. Bacterial retention potentials of soil column separating soil surface from groundwater table during wastewater percolation, varies along its transect. It would be due to numerous and variable physical, chemical and structural properties of soil layers and bacteria on the one hand, and to results of various interactions between soil layer particles and cell bacteria, on the other hand. |
