Brief description
Kingston Middle monitoring site is collected as part of the Derwent Beach Watch program. Derwent Beach Watch is a collaborative program between councils and state government that tests water quality at 18 swimming sites around the estuary during summer months.Water samples are collected each Tuesday from the start of December to the end of March and analysed for the faecal indicator bacteria Enterococci (Enteralert method) at the Public health Lab. Because the samples must be cultured, it takes several days to publish the results.
Lineage
Bacterial samples are collected using Public Health glass bacteria bottles.HydroLab vertical profiler is used to collect temperature, salinity, ph and turbidity.
