Fig 4
Relationship between water temperature and total bacterial cell concentration in the samples collected from the water treatment plant (WTP) effluent over the two years of investigation (August 2012 –June 2014).
(A) 95% confidence interval (thin lines) and 95% prediction interval (dotted lines). (B) Discrimination between spring and fall samples. (C) Classification of water samples based on sampling time of year.
