  1. #NYC #COVID #wastewater counts are still available on the New York State run portal, but not in the State open data repository.

    In the State portal, #COVIDWastewater data is only available as one of two embedded Tableau charts - a graph or a map. The embed code is available, but it is a permalink to a snapshot of the data in time; it does not always show the most current data.

  2. The #NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene released its July #COVIDWastewater data on August 3. It's now September 14, and there's no sign of the August data.

    #Wastewater concentration is one of the most important indicators in the beginning of a #COVID wave.

    The samples are tested within a few days of being collected. Something the Department of Environmental Protection or the DOHMH is doing between testing and the public repository is taking way too long.

    In #LakeVictoria, #eutrophication and resulting #HAB have been caused by over a century of human activity sending nutrients into lake’s water. #Agricultural #runoff, #sewage, and industrial #wastewater have all been linked to the problem, as well as products of slash and burn practices, biomass burning, and industry being sent up into the atmosphere and dumped down into lake.
