Stream, were due principally to resident wild fowl populations in the vicinity of recreational usage sites (as confirmed by inspections and more recently by DNA marker surveys). In terms of E. coli, bacteriological water quality in the latest survey period was similar in comparison with historical surveys. The total number of samples falling within the “Alert” or “Action” categories (28% of samples) was equal to the long-term average and was strongly influenced by samples at two urban sites
