Study Finds High Fecal Bacteria Levels in Tajo River

The research, conducted by the Cátedra del Tajo at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, detected elevated concentrations of fecal bacteria in water samples taken from the Tajo River. The findings indicate that levels of these bacteria, which can pose health risks to humans and wildlife, are higher than what is considered safe for recreational or agricultural use. The study highlights the need for improved water management and pollution control measures in the region.
