Concentration of Escherichia coli by site and season in surface water and sediment

Abstract

This dataset contains Escherichia coli concentration data obtained from surface water and sediment samples collected at different sampling sites and during four seasonal campaigns around Santa Fe City, Argentina. The dataset includes sampling site, season, substrate, and E. coli concentration, expressed as colony-forming units (CFU) per 100 mL for surface water and per gram of sediment. These data provide information on the spatial and seasonal distribution of E. coli in the studied aquatic environments and support the assessment of fecal contamination across different sites and environmental matrices.
