Water: relevance of taking measurements

Hi,
I was wondering who is using the data of water measurements at this moment. It would be nice if students could get some feedback and if results could be publicized.
To make it more relevant to schools and government it might be interesting if students can also measure bacteria in the water. The parameter that the EU looks at for defining if water is safe for swimming is looking at bacteria in the water. For students it is easy to do an E-coli test. It might be very instructive and relevant to both the (local) government and students. In this way water investigation might become more engaging.
Maybe this parameter can be added to the website and we can start a campaign to investigate swimming water quality around the world....
