A new report raises concerns about bacteria levels in waterways. Texans are advised to be aware of potential contamination as they visit these areas during the summer. The report examines water quality samples and highlights waterways with repeated positive tests for harmful pathogens.
Exposure to contaminated water can lead to illnesses, particularly if contaminated with bacteria like E. coli. This type of bacteria indicates contamination from waste.
Further details are available from the Environment Texas Research & Policy Center, which is set to release the report and an accompanying online mapping tool.
