Summary
The bathing water quality at Vakantiepark De Betteld is zwemverbod
Measurements
E.coli15 n/dl
(below 1800 is ok)
Enterococci15 n/dl
(under 400 is ok)
Cause
Forbidden swimming due to high concentrations of PFAS contamination in bathing water. The ban on swimming due to the PFAS pollution remains in force. The province of Gelderland forbids swimming in recreational lake De Betteld. Swimming in this lake is dangerous, it can be combined with the intake of PFAS from other sources, ensuring that too much PFAS is received. This has adverse effects on health.
Het zwemverbod vanwege de PFAS-verontreiniging blijft van kracht. De provincie Gelderland verbied om te zwemmen in recreatieplas De Betteld. Zwemmen in deze plas is gevaarlijk, het kan in combinatie met de inname van PFAS uit andere bronnen, ervoor zorgen dat men te veel PFAS binnenkrijgt. Dat heeft nadelige gevolgen voor de gezondheid.

Details
The water temperature value comes from the nearest official Rijkswaterstaat measuring station and is an approximation for this location. Always take local conditions into account, it is usually colder in deeper water than on the shore!
The water quality measurement is based on the amount of bacteria in nanograms per deciliter (n /dl). In this case it concerns the intestinal bacteria Escherichia coli (E.coli) and intestinal enterococci, which occur in the feces of both animals and humans. A suddenly high value is often related to bird droppings in the water, for example, but can certainly also have other causes. It is unwise to swim in water where these values exceed the standards. The water manager also inspects the bathing water areas for other types of pollution, such as blue-green algae or other toxic algae and general safety features.
