Bacteria & Flow Conditions
The River Authority tests for bacteria levels at monitoring stations where recreational activity is likely to occur. The River Authority Environmental Sciences Department collects samples at these locations weekly, processes the samples in our laboratory, and the results are displayed here every Friday. Bacteria results are assessed against stream recreation standards and represent levels at the time of sample collection and will vary based on stream flow, rain fall, and other conditions.
This viewer also displays the most recent stream flow reading at United States Geological Survey (USGS) monitoring stations, some of which coincide with stations where bacteria samples are collected.
Please note that bacteria and flow values in this viewer are provisional and may change. Also, per City of San Antonio Code Section 22-87, swimming in the San Antonio River is prohibited within city limits.
