Water samples are collected from sites that are: 1) visited by over 50,000 people annually; and 2) adjacent to storm drains (including rivers, creeks and streams).
They are good indicators of microbiological contamination and are used as a substitute by health authorities for disease causing organisms (such as hepatitis, dysentery, cholera, etc) that are likely to be present in sewage but are difficult to analyze for directly.
Such water may be contaminated with bacteria, viruses, protozoa, or chemicals, and contact with storm drain water may cause illness.

Improvements in the treat­ment and disinfection of sewage overflows of the magnitude needed to restore recreational waters to beneficial uses will take many years.
coli test does a poor job of predicting when water quality will be acceptable or not for full- or partial-body contact because it "hindcasts" rather than forecasts water quality.
A predictive river model that could provide a 24- to 48- hour forecast of river quality would be a useful tool, but model predictions would have to be readily generated each day and communi­cated quickly to the public possibly by way of the internet.
