State of the Environment and Conservation in the Pacific Islands: 2020 Regional Report: Indicator 5 - Freshwater Quality

There are active drinking water or freshwater monitoring progra mmes in 11 of 14 Pacific countries and 6 of 7 territories. The primary challenge is the regularity and frequency of sampling, the capacity to process samples accurately in country, and the official response process to the findings. There is no regional data collation for this proposed indicator , to date. Escherichia coli occurs naturally in human and animal intestines and therefore can be used as a proxy for untreated sewage contamination or other pollution.

在太平洋地区的14个国家中，有11个国家正在实施活跃的饮用水或淡水监测项目，而在7个领地中则有6个正在进行。当前面临的主要挑战包括样本采集的规律性与频率、在各国准确处理样本的能力，以及对监测结果采取的官方响应流程。截至目前，尚未对该指标进行区域数据汇总。大肠杆菌自然存在于人类和动物的肠道中，因此它可以作为未经处理的污水污染或其他污染的代理指标。图书编号：[EL] 物理描述：3页。
