EPA Yarra Watch E. coli data

This data is EPA and Melbourne Water's Yarra River bacterial sampling results since December 2013. During summer (1 December - Labour Day) EPA monitors water quality at four Yarra River sites. Samples are tested for E. coli, a bacteria found in faeces. E. coli is recognised as the best indicator in measuring faecal contamination of freshwater recreational waters.

本数据集为2013年12月以来，环境保护署（EPA）与墨尔本水务（Melbourne Water）针对亚拉河开展的细菌采样检测结果。夏季（12月1日至劳动节）期间，EPA会在亚拉河的4处监测点位开展水质监测工作。采集的水样将针对大肠杆菌（E. coli）进行检测，该细菌广泛存在于粪便之中。大肠杆菌被公认为评估淡水娱乐水域粪便污染程度的最优指示微生物。
