Station 1. --- Page 5 --- 7 CHEMISTRY AND BACTERIOLOGY Chemical analyses were made on all surveys (Tables 1-3), In general, the methods and procedures used followed those in "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage," 9th edition, Total hardness, calcium, and magnesium were determined by the Betz methods. The bacteriological analyses (Table 5) included a total plate count and a coliform count. The latter was obtained by calculating the most probable number as outlinedin "Standard Methods." The confirmed test, with the use of brilliant green bile broth, was used to check the presumptive test. | Conclusions From these studies it is evident that the Guadalupe River is a hard water river with a higher chloride content at Stations 2, 2A, and 3 than at Station 1, As one would expect, the total solids were also higher at Stations 2, 2A, and 3 than at Sta- - tion l. The bacteriologieal and BOD data indicate that Station 1 was much freer of pollution than Stations 2, 2A, and 3. It is evident that these lower stations were influenced by sewage. The highest coliform count was found at Station 2, The highest BOD and total counts were at Station 3, Comparing the chemical and bacteriological results of analy~ sis with those of previous years, it is evident that the chloride --- Page 6 --- 48 content was higher in 1950-52 than in 199 (Tables 1-3). The iron content was similar to that found in 199 but higher than in 1950. The nitrates were higher in 1949 than in 1950 or 1952, whereas the ammonia content was highest in 1952, The volatile solids were also higher in 1952 than in previous years, The temperature of the water had increased considerably (compare figures in Tables 1 and 2 with Table 1). Whether the higher content of organic matter was due to additional pollution or to natural conditions resulting from high temperatures and low flow is hard to tell. It is probable that both factors were responsible. The total bacterial counts at Stations 2, 2A, and 3 and the BOD's were mich higher in 1952 than in 1950, However, in 1949 the total bacterial count of Station 2 was much higher than in the two subsequent years (29,000 as compared with 33 for 1950 and 3200 for 1952). The highest total counts encountered to date were in the current survey: 58,000 at Station 2A and 70,000 at Station 3. --- Page 7 --- Lg Table 1 Chemical and Physical Analyses, 1949 Survey Al’ >resulte “in ppm,,.except.Tem. and pH Stations ;J_ ag oe Alkalinity, P. 3.40 7200 MoO. 211,00 174.00 Cl 14.80 59.00 C0, 6.80 4.00 D.0. ‘$417 6.82 Fe 0.0152 0,02h2 Hardness (Total) | 188.00 173.20 Ca 165.00 128.00 Mg 33400 45.20 Ca 6210 51.30 Mg 8,03 10.98 NH, - N 0.0417 0.0493 NO, - N 0.0106 0.0029 N03 - N 0.531 0.221 PO, = P 0.0108 0.0052 $i0, 11,40 11,68 $0), 19.50 20.5 Turbidity 54.00 106,80 Temperature 29,8° OC. 30,2" ¢. 7-8 8,00 pH --- Page 8 --- 50 Table 2 Chemical and Physical Analyses, 1950 Survey w ccstbas Hore” i" Bom, expe’ fos: Sp» Sopd., Tom. . 200 pe 2 aes aor Alkalinity P, MeO Cl C05 D.O.

Particularly is this true for histogram columns h, 6, and 7 which are the ones used most in a quantitative sense in evaluating the state of health of a region. Stations 2, 2A, and 3 were more variable. This was especially true in the number of species of algae and the number of species and of individuals in Protozoa. These two groups indicate most forcefully the somewhat semi-healthy conditions which existed. The most common species of algae were the bluegfeens, Stigeocloniun lubricum, and certain species of diatoms commonly found in water rich in organic matter. Likewise the most abundant Protozoa were certain Euglenas typically found where there is organic enrichment, and certain ciliates which are known to be bacterial feeders. It is interesting to note that the gizzard shad was the ost canmon species of fish in Stations 2, 2A, and 3. It is an algal feeder and therefore might be exp ected in this region of abundant phytoflagellate and algal growth. The common occurrence of rough fish and the paucity of game fish were notable, The insect fauna was somewhat poorer in the downstream stations in 1952 than in the two previous years. Particularly notable was the scarce occurrence of burrowing mayflies which had previously been so abundant in 1949 and 1959. The larger number of species of chironomids was probably due to the fact they were more --- Page 14 --- 56 effectively collected on this survey. The invertebrate fauna was very similar to that of previous years, except that dead crabs were found at Stations 2, 2A, and 3. A eomparison of the results of the BOD tests shows a con- siderable increase in BOD particularly at Station 3 for 1952, As one would expect, the bacterial count is also highest at this station, At Stations 2, 2A, and 3 the total bacterial counts and coliform counts are much higher in 1952 than in 1950. The results of chemical analyses for 1952 are very similar to those for 1950. The sulphates are somewhat higher particularly at Stationg 2A and 3. The total and volatile solids are higher at Station 3 in 1952 than in 1950. The NH content is a little higher at all stations in 1952. As in 1950 the chhorides are considerably higher in Stations 2, 2A, and 3 than in Station l. Thus it is clear that the bacteriological and chemical data support the biological conclusions that there was a higher organic load in the river in 1952 than in 1950. This condition is probably due in part to the fact that a very low flow existed in the river during this period. It also indicates that a heavier organic load is entering the river, Since this is first apparent at Station 2 one would conclude that it is in a large part due to upstream conditions, The result of this condition is that the river is approaching a semi-healthy state at Stations 2, 2A, and 3. --- Page 15 --- FIGURE | HISTOGRAM OF STATION I- GUADALUPE RIVER COASTAL PLAIN BASE VALLLI LLL LLL Ly WAN —) 9 WLM gggeemdccecdd aq: SI XS $:$”: a LLL LLL LLL ALLL Lg i SSS wT OAT.
