The source collected data between May and September 2019, and then conducted a follow-up review in February and March 2020

The source choose the beaches according to importance, based on traffic of people to the beach, the site, and potential pollution risks. As of 2020, out of 461 water quality testing stations, 422 stations had enough samples to be able to measure the quality of the water based on the new Moroccan standard "NM 03.7.199"

As of 2014, the Moroccan authorities issued a new standard "NM 03.7.199" of monitoring and managing bathing water quality. It considers quality of water based on the results of the analysis of microbiological indicators (Escherichia coli and Enterococcus), based on 95 and 90 percentile statistical values for the current year along with three previous season and comparing them to the following threshold:

Excellent water quality: Enterococcus - P95 ≤100 and Escherichia coli - P95≤250
Good water quality: Enterococcus - P95>100 & P95<200 and Escherichia coli - P95<500 & P95>250
Moderate water quality: Enterococcus - P95>200 & P90 ≤185 and Escherichia coli - P95>500 & P90<500
Bad water quality: Enterococcus - P90>185 and Escherichia coli - P90>500
Bad water quality is the only quality that does not comply to the new standard, while moderate, good, and excellent water quality does comply.
