Abstract
The relationships between bacteriological and viral indicators of sewage pollution (TC, FC, E coli, FS, Salmonella, somatic coliphages and F-RNA phages) and environmental variables in coastal water and weather were studied at three beaches in San Sebastian, the Basque Country. The microbiological indicators in bathing water presented high counts associated with the following conditions: early morning, overcast skies, low and high tides, groundswell, intense turbidity and the presence of flotsam (P = P = P = Salmonella presented significant (P = Salmonella indicator density demonstrated that environmental variables facilitate the construction of highly significant equations, but that these have low predictive capability (R2 = <0.50).
