Waterway health — Recreational — Enterococci monitoring results — 2024–2025

***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

本数据集可于布里斯班市议会（Brisbane City Council）的开放数据平台[data.brisbane.qld.gov.au](https://data.brisbane.qld.gov.au)获取。该平台提供数据浏览、交互操作以及多格式下载等附加功能。

布里斯班市议会会对河道水质开展监测，以保障公众无需面临不必要的健康风险。该议会会在布里斯班河及莫顿湾（Moreton Bay）的11个休闲娱乐使用率较高的点位实施水质监测。监测所得数据集将对外公开发布，并在必要时布设警示标识。

有关水质监测的详细信息，可访问布里斯班市议会官网的对应页面：[https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/environment-and-water/water-and-air-quality/water-quality-monitoring](https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/environment-and-water/water-and-air-quality/water-quality-monitoring)。

本数据集涵盖布里斯班河与莫顿湾内的微生物污染程度相关信息。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监测一次。高浓度肠球菌的含量每日均可能出现波动，且在强降雨后可能升高。接触肠球菌会增加健康风险，因此应避免直接接触相关水域。
