Waterway health — Recreational — Enterococci monitoring results — 2012–2013

***This dataset is available on Brisbane City Council’s open data website – [data.brisbane.qld.gov.au](https://data.brisbane.qld.gov.au). The site provides additional features for viewing and interacting with the data and for downloading the data in various formats.*** \n \nBrisbane City Council monitors the quality of waterways to ensure the public is not exposed to unnecessary health risk. Council monitors the water quality at 11 sites in the Brisbane River and sections of Moreton Bay, which have high rates of recreational use. The datasets derived from the monitoring are published and warning signs are put in place where required.\n\n\nInformation on water quality monitoring can be found on the [Brisbane City Council website](https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/environment-and-water/water-and-air-quality/water-quality-monitoring).\n\n\nThis dataset consists of the level of microbial contamination within Brisbane River and Moreton Bay. Brisbane City Council monitors of enterococci bi\\-monthly in summer and monthly during the cooler winter months. The presence of high levels of enterococci can vary daily, and may be elevated after heavy rainfall. Enterococci exposure can contribute to increased health risk and primary contact should be avoided.\n\n\nThe Data and resources section of this dataset contains further information for this dataset.\n\n

布里斯班市议会会对河道水质开展监测，以确保公众无需面临不必要的健康风险。议会在布里斯班河以及莫顿湾（Moreton Bay）的11个休闲使用频率较高的点位实施水质监测工作。基于监测工作生成的数据集已对外发布，并会在必要时设置警示标识。

关于水质监测的更多信息，可访问[布里斯班市议会官网](https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/environment-and-water/water-and-air-quality/water-quality-monitoring)。

本数据集包含布里斯班河与莫顿湾内的微生物污染水平数据。布里斯班市议会会在夏季每双月开展一次肠球菌（enterococci）监测，冬季低温月份则改为每月一次。高浓度肠球菌的存在情况每日均可能发生变化，强降雨后其浓度可能升高。接触高浓度肠球菌会提升健康风险，因此应避免直接接触此类水域。
