WaterWatch and EstuaryWatch data

The WaterWatch and EstuaryWatch programs are dedicated to long-term monitoring of our waterways. We’ve built a robust historical dataset through consistent collection of nutrient and physical-chemical data.

In recent years, we’ve broadened our monitoring efforts to include a wider range of water quality indicators. Here’s what we’re currently monitoring:

• Physico-chemical parameters (DO, pH, conductivity, turbidity, nutrients etc.)
• Biodiversity data (frogs, macroinvertebrates, fish)
• eDNA
• Pesticides
• Physical habitat assessments
• Photopoint monitoring
• Litter monitoring
