ination levels increase through sewage overflow and agricultural runoff.
However, rainfall also lowers the risk in other ways by diluting concentrations and making rivers run faster.
Higher flow rates mean that the bacterium has less time to be exposed to higher temperatures, which would kill the pathogen.
To derive an overall risk rating for Campylobacter infection from recreational water, the user can thus input data on a range of relevant factors.
These include local temperature, wastewat
