- Statement
- Sub-surface water samples obtained from multiple discrete points within 18 water bodies in each of three lake districts via wading and shore-based sampling. Standard water body characteristics (area, elevation, perimeter etc) are available from the UK Lakes Portal (https://eip.ceh.ac.uk/apps/lakes/). Water samples for microbial analysis were stored at 4 degrees C and processed within six hours of collection. 100ml samples at three dilutions were filtered through 0.45-um membrane filters, placed onto the surface of Membrane Lactose Glucoronide Agar (MLGA agar). Plates were incubated at 37 degrees C and counted after 24 hours. Counts are reported as number of Colony Forming Units (CFU) per 100 ml water. Data limitations: spatial sampling points within each water body were established with a handheld GPS with typical accuracy of +/- 3-5m. Concentrations of Faecal Indicator Organisms (FIOs), especially in water, are highly spatially and temporally variable over short distances and time scales. The data therefore provide a near instantaneous picture of the spatial variation in FIO concentrations within a water body at a given time. The data are suitable for an assessment of relative sources of variation in FIO concentrations (i.e. within sample location, between sample location, between site, between district and between season). Data were added to an Excel spreadsheet and exported as .csv files for deposit into the EIDC.
