TLDR
According to the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Committee, 41% of the US population prefers water-based recreation over any other as discussed by the authors, and swimming is now one of the most popular outdoor activities.Abstract:
PUBLIC outdoor pressure recreation for is water-based grooving utdoor re reati n is groovin steadily in the United States. According to the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Committee, 41 per cent of this country's population prefers water-based recreation over any other. Swimming is now one of the most popular outdoor activities ; boating and fishing rank among the top 10.1 Because of this heightened interest in water-based recreation, increasing attention is being given to the possibility of using public water supply sources for recreation.read more

Assessment of enteric pathogen shedding by bathers during recreational activity and its impact on water quality
TL;DR: Information on the concentration of selected enteric viruses and protozoa during infection, the incidence of these infections, and duration of excretion can be used to model the impact of body contact recreation on water quality in reservoirs used for drinking water supplies.

Reduction of coliform bacteria in two upland reservoirs: The significance of distance decay relationships
David Kay,Adrian McDonald +1 more
TL;DR: The applicability of previous studies (which examined rates of coliform reduction in different situations) to the British upland reservoir is discussed and a set of calculated purification rates, observed during different limnological conditions, are presented.

Effects of multiple use on water quality of high-mountain watersheds: bacteriological investigations of mountain streams.
TL;DR: It would seem that the practice of closing high-mountain watersheds to public entry is questionable if governmental standards for water quality are to be met, and it also seems that the standards themselves should be reexamined.

Effects of dispersed recreational activities on the microbiological quality of forest surface water.
TL;DR: The microbiological quality of forest surface waters in the Greenwater River watershed was examined to investigate the influence of heavy motorized camping in an area with no sanitary facilities, and indicator densities increased during weekend human-use periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aquatic indicator bacteria in the high alpine zone.
TL;DR: It is concluded that management questions that relate to the carrying capacity of alpine areas should be approached with the aid of other biological parameters along with levels of indicator bacteria in the streams.

Seasonal Variations in Survival of Indicator Bacteria in Soil and Their Contribution to Storm-water Pollution.
TL;DR: There was evidence of aftergrowth of nonfecal coliforms in the soil as a result of temperature and rainfall variations which may contribute to variations in bacterial count of storm-water runoff which have no relation to the sanitary history of the drainage area.

Relationship of Recreational Use to Bacterial Densities of Forrest Lake
TL;DR: Forrest Lake as mentioned in this paper, a lake of 702 acres, appears to be a good location for studying the compatability of the recreational use of water with its use for man's consumption.

Recreational Use of Reservoirs
TL;DR: The writer has found that a permissive policy relative to recreational use of terminal reservoirs is untenable on both scientific and ethical grounds.
