Abstract

Beach water contamination by pathogenic agents is monitored by Fecal Indicator Bacteria (FIB) levels. A source of these agents may be submarine groundwater discharge. At Huntington Beach, California high FIB levels in the surf zone are shown to be associated with high ²²⁴Ra and ²²³Ra activities, indicators of groundwater discharge.
