Abstract
Rainfall increases concentrations of Giardia and Cryptosporidium through its influence
on turbidity, flow volume, and possibly other unidentified factors.

An investigation of the variability of concentrations of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium

oocysts in the Delaware River was conducted in 1996 at Trenton, N.J. A goal of the study
was to examine the relationship between concentrations of Giardia and Cryptosporidium
and a variety of more easily measured microbial, water quality, and meteorological
parameters. A positive correlation (Spearman rank; p < 0.05) was demonstrated between
concentrations of Giardia cysts or Cryptosporidium oocysts and 15 other parameters.
Increased concentrations of Giardia and Cryptosporidium as well as a variety of other
microorganisms were associated with rainfall. The effect of rainfall on parasite
concentrations is due in part to increased particulate matter in the water column
following surface runoff and resuspension of river bottom and storm drain sediment.
