Overview on indicator bacterial concentration prediction model of bathing beaches

It will help to ensure the safety of the bathing water quality and avoid the time-lag of the traditional monitoring method using a concentration prediction model for fecal indicator bacteria (FIB). And it also can provide the health guidance and technical supporting to the public and beach manager in timely. Based on the technical development status of the indicator bacterial concentration prediction model of bathing beaches, the model construction methods were comprehensively reviewed in this paper, and the characteristics, application scopes, advantages and disadvantages of various models were also summarized. In addition, the difficulties and bottleneck in constructing the indicator bacterial concentration prediction model in bathing beaches of China were analyzed. Finally, the development trend of the model was prospected, which will provide a valuable reference for administrative department of China.
