Linking Water Quality Data to causes of Contamination
Discusses several mechanisms, which are critical if the move from passive monitoring to rapid quality control measures is to be achieved. The need for rapid processing of information through computerized database systems, linked to information processing and display software packages is, highlighted. Also needed is the systematic collection of information on sanitary conditions using sanitary surveys, as well as, the linking of water quality data with the sanitary survey information to establish cause and effect. |

Land-based Pollution Sources and Marine Environmental Quality in the Caribbean
Gives a summary of major land based sources of marine pollution including sewage, industrial effluents and agricultural run-off. Presents water quality data from across the region which indicate that while recreational areas are generally safe for water contact activities, bacterial densities in excess of several international criteria are consistently recorded in harbours. |
