Regulación sobre la calidad del agua en playas para bañistas

Explicación Simple

Esta ley garantiza que el agua en las playas sea segura para nadar. Si alguien encuentra que el agua no es segura, puede cerrar la playa hasta que se solucione el problema.

Es como cuando un chef revisa si la comida está lista antes de servirla. Si algo no está bien, decide no servirlo hasta que sea seguro.
