Season

Water Quality

Water quality was classified as excellent from 2011 to 2021. Since 2022, water quality has deteriorated and is now classified as good, revealing sensitivity to bacteriological contamination. Classification is based on percentile 95 thresholds for Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci. Monitoring shows recurring exposure to fecal contamination.

Risks

Identified pollution sources include parking and rest area runoff, port activities, stormwater and watercourse discharge, non-collective sanitation systems, domestic animals, agricultural activities, a pumping station, and wild fauna. Urban areas in the catchment generate domestic pollution risks. Agricultural areas present diffuse pollution risks from nitrates, phosphates, and pesticides.
