Mean values are presented with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. Dissolved oxygen (DO) and total dissolved solids (TDS) values have been segregated above and below station 5A because this station brackets a major waste outfall containing domestic and pharmaceutical wastes (Graham et al., 2011).
