The Annapolis River often contains E. coli counts so high Canadian Water Quality Guidelines would advise people not to swim in it. Results of water testing this past summer were high enough that citizens have taken a renewed interest in the river’s health.
CARP has been monitoring water quality on the Annapolis River since 1992 through the Annapolis River Guardians program. In addition to monitoring E. coli as an indicator of bacterial pollution, other parameters monitored include pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity. Eight sites are presently monitored on a biweekly basis between Aylesford and Bridgetown.
