title: [Level of pollution of a section of the Setta stream and its affluents].
abstract: A control has been made of the degree of pollution present in the waters of the Setta torrent and its affluents in the tract between the Sambro torrent in the Comune of Monzuno and the point of confluence with the river Reno; just before its junction with the Reno there is an aqueduct which supplies the population of Bologna with the most part of its drinking water. With this object in view, according to the Act of 10 May 1976, n degrees 319, which regulates the limits of acceptbility for waste water, bacteriological and ichthyotoxicological tests have been carried out (research of the number of fecal and total coliforms and Enterococci). The carried out tests confirm that the waters of the Setta torrent and its affluents, in the tract examined, have, with some slight reservation, a low degree of pollution and can be assigned, after being made drinkable, for domestic use.
