Water

Coastal bathing waters at Saint-Malo. The assessment includes tidal analysis, current patterns, wave conditions, and bathymetric modeling in the marine environment.

Location

Saint-Malo, Ille-et-Vilaine department, France. The profile covers two beaches: Pont and Minihic.

Water Quality

The document includes historical bacteriological water quality data for bathing waters, assessment of classification according to the 2006 Directive, analysis of risk factors for beach downgrading, and robustness testing of classifications. Potential pollution sources from wastewater systems, agricultural activities, and other non-domestic establishments were identified and assessed.

Risks

Identified risks include potential pollution episodes, macro-algae and phytoplankton proliferation, discharges from outfalls, wastewater-related contamination, and marine pollution impacts. Hydrodynamic modeling was conducted to assess pollution transport during dry weather and rainy conditions.
