Abstract

The utility of biomonitoring methods and physico-chemical and hydrobiological indices of water quality for the detection of receiving stream impacts of urban runoff discharges has been assessed. Advantages and disadvantages of specific indices to urban water quality assessment have been highlighted. Caged species were additionally placed at selected locations along the length of a North London stream to detect heavy-metal uptake during dry and wet weather conditions as a basis for the development of ecotoxicological indices. -Authors
