Water quality measurements at 3 beach sites in the Great Lakes from the summer of 2015: Edgewater Beach, OH; Grant Park, WI; Washington Park, MI. Data include associated environmental parameters (meteorological and hydrologic). Microbial data include cultured fecal indicator bacteria, coliphage, and molecular marker (qPCR) measurements. Detailed description of data collection activities can be found in Wanjugi et al. 2018: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004313541830349X.

Fecal indicator bacteria levels are measured in water samples collected from ocean and bay beaches, streams, lakes and other coastal waterways. Water samples are processed using the IDEXX Quanti-Tray/2000 Method to enumerate enterococcus bacteria, a bacteria indicator used by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to determine human health risk at beaches and in other recreational waters.
