| Abstract |
Samples of water from a marina area in Michigan used by watercraft were tested for the number of coliform organisms. There was a slight increase in the coliform most probable number of organisms in the slips most frequently used by the yachts. Outside sources of contamination probably added to the total number of organisms present in the area. Although an increase in the number of organisms was related to the presence of yachts in the marina, the concentration was far below the standard of total body contact as established by the Water Quality Standards for Michigan Intrastate Waters. Chemical analysis of water samples taken at the marina were all within the normal limits for the specific area. Other factors contributing to the presence of the coliform organisms in this relatively unpopulated area were considered. (WRSIC abstract) |
