Derwent Estuary Recreational Water Quality monitoring program - Howrah Middle

Howrah Middle 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.

霍拉中监测点（Howrah Middle monitoring site）的采样数据系作为德文特海滩观察计划（Derwent Beach Watch program）的一部分采集所得。德文特海滩观察计划是地方议会与州政府联合开展的合作项目，于夏季对河口周边18处游泳场所的水质进行检测。
每年12月初至3月末的每个周二，工作人员会采集水样，并交由公共卫生实验室采用Enteralert方法（Enteralert method）对粪便指示菌肠球菌（Enterococci）进行分析。由于水样需进行微生物培养，因此检测结果需耗时数日方可对外发布。
