Season

First week of June to third week of September. Microbiological and environmental control conducted over 17 consecutive weeks, with weekly microbiological analysis and minimum 3 weekly environmental inspections.

Water Quality

Water quality is monitored and classified according to Directive 2006/7/CE. Microbiological control measures Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci weekly. Environmental control includes assessment of water transparency, coloration, floating solids of human origin, marine and terrestrial vegetation, foam, phytoplankton blooms, hydrocarbons, and jellyfish presence. The Cambrils wastewater treatment system (EDAR) provides biological treatment and discharges through a primary outfall (Riera de Riudoms at Cavet beach, 2,000 m long, 29 m deep) and four emergency outfalls.

Risks

Riera de la Mare de Déu del Camí, located approximately 500 m north, normally does not reach the sea but may discharge into Platja d'Horta de Santa Maria during heavy rainfall or anthropogenic discharge. The area is monitored for phytoplankton proliferation and other water quality issues.
