Water Quality

Bacteriological quality is regularly monitored through analysis of Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci parameters to prevent gastroenteritis risk from water ingestion during bathing. The site has a vulnerability profile that assesses potential contamination sources and the bathing water classification status.

Risks

Potential contamination sources include wastewater treatment system dysfunctions, non-collective sanitation systems, stormwater networks, and tourism and recreational activities. Pathogenic microorganisms, particularly affecting sensitive populations such as children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, pose health risks.
