TLDR
In this paper, the authors considered rivers, lakes and their basins as a model to investigate global water environmental issues and developed a new method of numerical water quality estimation for organic river pollution.

Recent views on river pollution and diatoms

Frédéric Rimet
- 01 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: The objective of this review was to describe the state of the art of the study of diatoms and river pollution between 1999 and 2009 and to group the publications homogeneously according to subject and to indicate which subjects never overlap.

Can diatom-based pollution indices be used for biomonitoring in South Africa? A case study of the Crocodile West and Marico water management area

Jonathan C. Taylor, +4 more
- 31 Jul 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the inclusion of diatoms into the current suite of biomonitoring tools in use in South Africa, as well as the use of European and other diatom indices, in particular the Crocodile and West Marico water management area, is discussed.

Use of diatom life-forms and ecological guilds to assess pesticide contamination in rivers: Lotic mesocosm approaches

Frédéric Rimet, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a diatom-based tool to assess pesticide contamination in water using light microscopy using standard European methods, and evaluated the various parameters structuring diatom communities.

Ecological status of some Finnish rivers evaluated using benthic diatom communities

Pertti Eloranta, +1 more
- 09 Jul 2002 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of some diatom methods to quality assessment of different types of Finnish rivers was compared using dominant taxa of diatom communities and nutrient level estimations using Trophic Diatom Index(TDI) and a new Phosphorus Diatoms Equation (PDE).

A generic index of diatom assemblages as bioindicator of pollution in the Keelung River of Taiwan

Jiunn-Tzong Wu, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1999 - 
TL;DR: A generic index (GI) as mentioned in this paper was used to measure changes in the diatom assemblages of the Keelung River (Taiwan) and found that GI correlated well with the saprobity index, diatom assembly index and river water quality index.

New General Estimation of River Pollution Using New Diatom Community Index (NDCI) as Biological Indicators Based on Specific Composition of Epilithic Diatoms Communities.

Michiaki Sumita, +1 more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a numerical index (RPID) to assess the river pollution by using a new diatom community index (NDCI) based on the specific composition of epilithic diatom communities.
