Details a web API for access to the live publication of Bathing Water information published by the Environment Agency for bathing waters in England that are monitored in order to meet UK reporting obligations under the EU Bathing Water Directive. Bathing waters are places, designated by legislation, where there is a statutory requirement to monitor and report on the quality of bathing waters during the bathing-water season. The bathing water season runs from early May through to the end of September each year. During the season, weekly samples are collected from about 400 sampling points associated with bathing-waters in England. The samples are assessed in a lab. The weekly assessment results are both published in their own right and are used to produce an annual compliance assessment of how well each bathing-water complies with the requirements of the Revised EU Bathing Water Directive.
