European Commission: Cyprus and Luxembourg top bathing water rankings
Water at nearly all of
Europe’s beaches – and most of its rivers and lakes – are clean enough
to swim in. And the quality is improving.
If you're planning a trip to
the beach this year you can rest easy – the water at 95% of beaches is
clean enough to meet minimum EU standards. Of bathing sites in rivers
and lakes, 91% make the grade.In the latest report, most sites were given an excellent rating for 2012 – the same proportion as in 2011. But more managed a “sufficient” rating than in the previous year.
2012 water testing
The European Environment Agency’s (EEA) annual bathing water report looked at samples from more than 22 000 bathing sites around Europe.
Water was tested for harmful pollutants and bacteria, such as E. coli – possibly from sewage or livestock waste.
