Cada organizaci\u00f3n Waterkeeper elige la mejor manera de monitorear los niveles de bacterias en sus v\u00edas fluviales seg\u00fan las caracter\u00edsticas espec\u00edficas de su cuenca. Una de las principales diferencias radica en si un programa monitorea enterococos o E. coli. El tipo de bacteria monitoreada por un grupo Waterkeeper est\u00e1 determinado por los niveles de salinidad en sus r\u00edos: marinos, salobres o dulces. Tanto E. coli como los enterococos son indicadores de coliformes fecales que pueden causar enfermedades cuando las personas o las mascotas que se divierten en el agua se exponen a ellos. Sin embargo, los enterococos se monitorean espec\u00edficamente tanto en agua dulce como marina (salada), mientras que la E. coli se monitorea en sistemas de agua dulce. Por ejemplo, la Federaci\u00f3n de R\u00edos Arundel monitorea los enterococos en los r\u00edos South, West y Rhode, que son v\u00edas fluviales salobres. En comparaci\u00f3n, la Anacostia Riverkeeper monitorea la E. coli en el r\u00edo Anacostia, un sistema de agua dulce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

La jurisdicci\u00f3n donde se ubican las v\u00edas fluviales monitoreadas tambi\u00e9n determina el umbral de monitoreo de bacterias que utiliza la organizaci\u00f3n Waterkeeper. Las organizaciones Waterkeeper pueden optar por monitorear sus niveles de bacterias seg\u00fan las normas federales, estatales o el Valor de Acci\u00f3n para Playas (BAV, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s).<\/span><\/p>\n
