Routine water quality monitoring is
conducted at all of the State Park beaches and many locally managed
beaches in Iowa. In order to help protect the health of those wishing
to recreate at the beaches, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources
works with various public health and management agencies throughout the
state to inform the public of the most current water quality conditions.
Outdoor recreation at beaches in Iowa is
typically limited to the time period between Memorial Day and Labor
Day. Therefore, most beach monitoring is conducted during this time
frame. Results for specific beaches are published as soon as they
become available. |
