As part of contract C7260, 55 samples of freshwater and seawater were
collected at sites in the Stiffkey and Glaven catchments and in Blakeney
Harbour in the winter of 2016/2017. Each sample was tested for concentrations
of the bacterium E. coli using membrane filtration techniques. The data were
reported by the laboratory as colony forming units/100ml and the results
recorded in the form of Excel spreadsheets.
