This World Health Organisation endorsed volume results from the efforts made by a group of international experts to finalise an accepted Code of Good Practice for recreational water monitoring. A practical guide to the design and implementation of effective health-related monitoring programmes and assessments, it covers all areas of recreational water use. This book will be a useful reference for all those involved in the monitoring and provision of recreational water facilities, including local authorities, resort and recreational facility managers, environmental health officers, environmental consultants and engineers, and students of environment health and similar subjects.
