Abstract

Since 2010, Riverkeeper has been advising, organizing, and assisting community scientists to collect Enterococcus (“Entero”) data from tributaries to, and local waterfront areas of, the Hudson River. We added E. coli in some areas in 2021. Riverkeeper’s community-based Entero monitoring started a regional movement. We and our network of partners have sampled the headwaters of the Hudson at Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondacks, wastewater treatment plant outfalls, the kayak launches of New York Harbor, and many places in between. More than 50 academic, community and watershed groups, and hundreds of volunteers, have monitored approximately 400 locations in about two dozen waterways and waterfronts. Riverkeeper has relied heavily on these monitoring data in our state and local advocacy for clean water policies and funding. Some of the outcomes of this effort have included significant new investments in wastewater infrastructure.
This dataset includes FIB and precipitation data collected from 2010-2021 from locations that were sampled for at least one year in the Bronx River (collected by Bronx River Alliance), Catskill Creek, Esopus Creek, Pocantico River, Quassaick Creek (collected by Quassaick Creek Watershed Alliance), Rondout Creek, Saw Mill River (collected by Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak), Sawyer Kill, Sparkill Creek (collected in collaboration with Sparkill Creek Watershed Alliance), Upper Hudson River (collected in collaboration with the NATURE Lab at Media Sanctuary), and Wallkill River. Some of these sampling activities were managed by Riverkeeper, some by partner organizations, and some in combination. Partnerships are noted, but it is not possible to capture all partnership details in this spreadsheet. For more information, visit https://www.riverkeeper.org/water-quality/.
