Water discharge and bacteria level

Discharge, cubic feet per second

E.coli, cfu/100 ml

Discharge is the amount of water moving through a river channel, typically measured in cubic feet or meters per second. It’s closely tied to water level—more rain or snowmelt leads to higher discharge and rising river levels. These increases can stir up sediments and wash bacteria from the land into the water, often resulting in higher bacteria concentrations, especially after heavy rains.
