Extreme events – typically storms or low water levels – are gradually becoming more common causes of bathing water pollution in Europe as the result of climate change. In effect, they are similar to microbiological pollution in that they involve spillages from combined sewage outflows. Such spillages and overflows can contain a wide range of contaminants that reduce bathing water quality. Such events are increasingly well-reported, which may also be due to more strict management in the past decade.
