Waterwatch Adelaide
Waterwatch is a national water quality monitoring initiative established in 1992 through which people in the community become actively involved in protecting and managing local waterways and catchments. Last year, 10,000 volunteers monitored 5000 sites and over 150,000 students participated in curriculum-linked, hands-on education programs, nationwide.
Waterwatch makes a unique contribution to natural resource management by collecting credible water quality data that NRM bodies use to identify need for on-ground works, as well as monitoring and evaluating their impact.
In the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges region, Waterwatch is run by the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board through the NRM Education program.
