Question: 537

3. Beach water monitoring results are used primarily to

  • A. direct swimmers to the nearest public beaches.
  • B. close beaches that do not test water.
  • C. alert swimmers to rough surf conditions.
  • D. issue warnings when bacteria levels are too high.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct. As stated in paragraph 3, "Beach water monitoring results are used to issue warnings and closures if bacteria levels are at unsafe levels and to help identify actions needed to reduce pollution." Choice A is wrong because water monitoring has nothing to do with directing swimmers to a public beach. Choice B is wrong because water monitoring results can be used to close beaches that have unsafe bacterial levels, not those that do not test their waters. Choice C is wrong because water monitoring tests for bacteria in the water, not for surf conditions.
