Dynamics of Picoplankton and Microplankton Flora in the Experimental Wastewater Stabilization Ponds in the Arid Region of Marrakech, Morocco and Cyanobacteria Effect on Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae Survival

  • Chapter
Wastewater Treatment with Algae

Part of the book series: Biotechnology Intelligence Unit ((BIOIU))

Abstract

Several treatment systems are available to reduce the load of organic matter and bacterial pollution in sewage water. Among them, the technique of stabilization pond treatment appears to be a good choice due to its simple management and its satisfactory level of treatment.1
