The Problem “No ideal WQI exists” • WQIs are sometimes detected when no pathogens are present in the environment • Regrowth & persistence of indicator organisms in the environment
Rationale • Region‟s heavy dependence on (sun, sea & sand) tourism as a major revenue generating industry, therefore water quality monitoring is important • Indicator organisms & water quality standards developed & based on research done in temperate regions • Increasing body of research showing traditional indicator may not be suitable for use, especially in tropics - persist in environment (soil & water) - found in areas that are considered pristine
