Water Quality

Water quality classification: Excellent (2020–2023). Escherichia coli (90th percentile): 126 CFU/100 ml; Escherichia coli (95th percentile): 180 CFU/100 ml. Intestinal enterococci (90th percentile): 24 CFU/100 ml; Intestinal enterococci (95th percentile): 29 CFU/100 ml. No direct discharges into the bathing water occur. No watercourses discharge into this bathing area.

Risks

The Rubicone river mouth is located north of the bathing area. During intense precipitation, overflow dischargers in the sewage network can discharge excess flow into the Rubicone river, whose waters flow into the sea near the bathing area. The Matrice Nuova canal can theoretically discharge directly to sea within the bathing water area through a system of gates and fans, but this has not occurred in the past 5 years and is reserved for exceptional events. Phytoplankton bloom (Fibrocapsa japonica) was recorded in July 2022. The Rubicone river mouth proximity may cause eutrophication phenomena.
