Climate change affects the interactions between water systems, ecosystems, and the atmosphere. It also increases the risk of the presence of microorganisms which affect the systems that use these resources. The impact of the population on the water resources has become more evident in recent years, highlighting the close relationship between the levels of inorganic components and microbiological contamination of water and community health. The characterization of the variables that account for water pollution is a complex process. In this paper, it is proposed to quantified nitrites and phosphorous as chemical markers and fecal coliforms, genomic human adenovirus and/or picobirnavirus and infectious human enterovirus detection as microbiological markers for the prevention of water-borne infections in individuals exposed to superficial aqueous matrices by recreational activities.
