Abstrakt: Abstract: Disinfection of surface water containing dissolved iron (0.3mgL−1) at natural neutral pH (∼7.5) was carried out via solar disinfection (SODIS) treatment in PET bottles with H2O2 (10mgL−1). Wild coliforms and Salmonella sp. were monitored for 6h of sunlight irradiation and 72h of dark post-treatment period. In our conditions, SODIS treatment could not avoid Salmonella sp. re-growth during dark storage, meanwhile the addition of 10mgL−1 of H2O2 showed a strong enhancement of the inactivation rate without any re-growth of both bacteria. Finally, total coliforms (Escherichia coli included) demonstrated to be an inappropriate indicator for monitoring bacterial contamination in water during solar disinfection processes.
