Derwent Estuary Recreational Water Quality monitoring program - Windermere

Windermere monitoring site is collected as part of the Derwent Beach Watch program. Derwent Beach Watch is a collaborative program between councils and state government that tests water quality at 18 swimming sites around the estuary during summer months.
Water samples are collected each Tuesday from the start of December to the end of March and analysed for the faecal indicator bacteria Enterococci (Enteralert method) at the Public health Lab. Because the samples must be cultured, it takes several days to publish the results.

温德米尔监测站点（Windermere monitoring site）的相关数据采集工作隶属于德文特海滩观察计划（Derwent Beach Watch program）。该计划是地方议会与州政府合作推进的项目，于夏季对该河口周边的18处游泳场所开展水质检测工作。
研究人员于每年12月初至3月末的每周二采集水样，并在公共卫生实验室（Public Health Lab）采用Enteralert检测法对粪便指示菌肠球菌（Enterococci）进行分析。由于需对样本进行培养，检测结果需耗时数日方可对外发布。
