Description

A team of student scientists will spend the summer testing the water at popular Waikato beaches and swimming sites. They'll be trekking across the region wading out in the water to fill sample containers that will be tested for e-coli and other bacteria. The test results determine whether the water quality is safe to swim or surf. Dr Michael Townsend from Waikato Regional Council spoke to Lisa Owen.
