Campaign 2022

This is the wiki page for documenting the latest Montreux Clean Beach Project water quality analyses, MCBP 2022.

After the publication of the open access work, we will be doing another round of sampling and analysis in 2022 - in collaboration with the organisers of the Montreux Jazz.

The first documentation of the Microbiology Experiments around the Montreux Clean Beach Project can be found in this old wiki page.

The first compilation of results can be found in this other page.

The first tests of the latest R-Cards, the more ecological method for such monitoring, were done in Montreux on 19May22, this season's validation day. Cards are incubated for 48h at 35 degrees Celsius for the easiest scoring.
