Due to pollution: red alert level on 26 beaches in Sydney

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

After heavy rain, authorities in Sydney have urged residents and tourists to avoid more than 20 popular beaches.

The red warning level was in force on 26 beaches on Friday, as can be seen on the website of government agency Beachwatch. This means that the water quality is not suitable for swimming. Beachwatch called on beachgoers to be sure to check the water for possible pollution. Beaches affected include Balmoral Baths, Rose Bay Beach, Murray Rose Pool and Tambourine Bay.

After rainfall, the water in lakes, rivers and the sea is often polluted (“storm water pollution”). Because urban discharge then increases. The result: waste, animal feces, pesticides and other pollutants are carried into waterways. In Sydney, where it is currently summer, there have been extremely humid conditions in recent days, accompanied by heavy rain at times. (SDA)
