Download or read book Guidelines on recreational water quality. Volume 1 written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2021-07-12 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of coastal, estuarine and freshwater recreational environments has significant benefits for health and well-being, including rest, relaxation, exercise, cultural and religious practices, and aesthetic pleasure, while also providing substantial local, regional and national economic benefits. These guidelines focus on water quality management for coastal and freshwater environments to protect public health. The guidelines: 1. describe the current state of knowledge about the possible adverse health impacts of various forms of water pollution; and2. set out recommendations for setting national health-based targets, conducting surveillance and risk assessments, putting in place systems to monitor and control risks, and providing timely advice to users on water safety.These guidelines are aimed at national and local authorities, and other entities with an obligation to exercise due diligence relating to the safety of recreational water sites. They may be implemented in conjunction with other measures for water safety (such as drowning prevention and sun exposure) and measures for environmental protection of recreational water use sites.

This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents research on a kind of water use conflicts that is becoming more and more common and important: How to best manage moving water in times of increasing demand for electricity as well as environmental services. How should decisions be made between water use for electricity generation or for environmental and recreational benefits? The authors develop a simple general equilibrium model of a small open economy which is used to derive a cost-benefit rule that can be used to assess projects that divert water from electricity generation to recreational and other uses (or vice versa). The cost-benefit rule is then applied to the specific case of a proposed change at a Swedish hydropower plant. The book provides a manual for the evaluation of river regulations which can easily be replicated in other studies.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philadelphias water resources are widely used for a range of recreational activities and since almost 60% of the City is served by Combined Sewer Systems (CSS), the pathogen levels after wet weather discharges are of main concern for evaluating the hygienic status of Citys these resources. A quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) was conducted to estimate risk of gastrointestinal illnesses (GI) associated with recreational exposures to Philadelphia water bodies, under dry and wet weather conditions. Usage pattern was measured at ten different locations (creek sites: n=3 and river sites: n=7) by using a novel ``time lapse photography technology during three recreational seasons (May-September) 2008-2010. Using maximum likelihood estimation stochastic exposure models were generated for each exposure scenario. In general, the log normal distribution described the playing and wading duration distribution, while the gamma distribution was the best fit for fishing durations. Both E. coli and Enterococcus were evaluated as water quality indicators and daily risk of GI illnesses in proportion of the frequency of use, including all types of activities that span the range of exposure at each site, was predicted by running 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations in Crystal Ball. An exponential dose response model was developed based on the 1986 US EPA epidemiological studies and the results were compared with the EPAs 1986-criteria model. A base line approach was developed to extend the risk estimates from local-observation stations to the entire stretch of the water bodies and critical zones of the Schuylkill and the Delaware River were identified for further investigations. Consistently, the sites on small creeks presented elevated risk potential under episodic events of poor water quality. Activities resulting in greatest number of affected users at creeks were identified as wading and playing (81%), while fishing was the potential risk contributor (65%) at rivers. To our knowledge this is the first QMRA to employ time-lapse cameras to characterize exposure types and durations. The quantitative measure of risk contribution from each type of water activity and identification of critical zones on large water bodies can be useful for policy makers in planning the health campaigns and prioritizing the future interventions.
