Microbial risk assessment for recreational use of the Kranji Reservoir, Singapore

[摘要] (cont.) Single-sample maximums for a monitoring program should be set to 96 Enterococci CFU per 100 ml water and 2,500 Enterococci CFU per gram sediment. These guidelines should be applied to the area of the reservoir open to recreation, which should be restricted to the northern main section of the reservoir. Entry and exit from the reservoir and wading should be restricted to a smaller area of shoreline until more sediment samples are taken to determine safe entry and exit areas. Final geometric mean and single-sample maximum guidelines should be based on a study of the pathogen-to-indicator-bacteria ratios in the Kranji Reservoir.
