Summary
Groundwater and surface-water samples were collected and analyzed for microbial source tracking markers to identify the primary sources of fecal bacteria at a Lake Michigan beach in Northwestern Indiana.
Summary
Groundwater and surface-water samples were collected and analyzed for microbial source tracking markers to identify the primary sources of fecal bacteria at a Lake Michigan beach in Northwestern Indiana.
U.S. Geological Survey, through support provided by Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, investigated foreshore and adjacent backshore conditions as part of overall activities to characterize change in bacterial conditions in surface water at these beaches in response to implementation of best management practices.
