Whitman R, Fowler M, Shively D, Byappanahalli M. Distribution and Characterization of E. coli within the Dunes Creek Watershed, Indiana Dunes State Park. US Geological Survey, Great Lakes Science Center. Porter, IN
E. coli concentrations were monitored weekly from east and west of Dunes Creek's outfall into Lake Michigan to (1) confirm that Dunes Creek significantly increases E. coli concentrations in Indiana Dunes State Park's beach water, (2) describe the spatial distibution of E. coli in Dunes Creek and related watersheds, and (3) determine the physical watershed inputs of E. coli into Dunes Creek.
