      , "pollutionManagementGeneralStatement" : {"_value" : "It is the Environment Agency and Natural Resources Wales role to drive improvement of water quality at bathing waters that are at risk of failing European standards. It is natural for water to run off the land to the sea. Water quality at a bathing water is dependent upon the type and area of land (the catchment) draining to the water and the activities undertaken in that catchment.\n\nAt Swansea a unique model has been developed by the Smart Coasts Sustainable Communities Project that predicts water quality at the designated bathing water.  The model is run during the Bathing Water season and the prediction is used to let people know if the water quality is good or poor.\n\nThis information is provided by way of a sign on the slipway to the beach, on the City and County of Swansea\u2019s website and via twitter.  The prediction is updated 3 times a day during the week and twice on the weekend.  Last year the sign said good 52% and poor 48% of the time.  There are 139 days in the bathing water season.  On 37 of those days the sign stayed good all day.  On 46 days the sign had to be changed to poor once and on 25 days it had to be changed to poor twice.  On 31 days the sign stayed poor all day.\n\nDaylight improves water quality so, generally, water quality improves as the day goes on.\n\nFor Swansea Bay\u2019s bathing water predictions go to http://www.swansea.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=29433 or follow @SwanseaBayWater on Twitter.", "_lang" : "en"}
