Water

Coastal marine water bodies in the Touques estuary and surrounding areas. The study includes analysis of the Touques River and its tributaries, as well as hydrographic networks within the watershed.

Location

Three bathing beaches located in the Touques watershed area: Plage des Six fusillés at Deauville, Plage de la Rue Croix at Trouville-sur-Mer, and Plage de Bénerville-sur-Mer / Tourgéville. The study covers communes in Lower Normandy, France.

Water Quality

Water quality is classified according to European Directive 2006/7/CE. Bacteriological monitoring is conducted. Historical monitoring data and quality classifications are documented for all three beaches. Eutrophication indicators and phytoplankton assessments are monitored.

Risks

Identified pollution sources include: discharge from wastewater collection systems and treatment plants, combined sewer overflows, industrial activities, agricultural runoff, port activities, bird colonies, horses on beaches, sand movement operations, and human contamination. Macroalgal proliferation episodes have been recorded. Rain-driven pollution events are documented.
