Water Quality and Sanitation Data from 10 Beach Kiosks

70% of the kiosks used only water from the public supply, and 30% of water samples had a total bacterial count above 500 CFU/mL. The dataset contains microbiological quality and sanitary condition data collected via direct observation and water sampling from beach kiosks. Diésse Nascimento Norete conducted the study, which found no presence of coliforms or E. coli.

Use Cases

• Assessing compliance with sanitary regulations based on recorded inspection and license data.
• Modeling bacterial contamination risk based on water source and disinfection treatment variables.
• Evaluating the relationship between container sanitation frequency and microbiological water quality.

Strengths

• Data includes specific microbiological counts (CFU/mL, NMP/100 mL) for heterotrophic bacteria and coliforms.
• Sanitary conditions were assessed using a structured checklist with items like water source and disinfection treatment.
• Findings are based on samples from 10 distinct beach kiosks.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
