RAW Water Quality Data

The RAW Water Quality Data is collected under The State Water Quality Assessment and Monitoring Project (SWAMP). The State Water Quality Assessment and Monitoring Project (SWAMP) is a state wide project responsible for collecting, analysing and reporting the ambient water quality condition of rivers in NSW.

SWAMP collects water quality data monthly to:

  • assess ambient river water quality in terms of electrical conductivity, temperature, turbidity, total suspended solids, pH, dissolved oxygen, phosphorus and nitrogen at selected sites across NSW

  • provide high quality, long term, statistically robust data to enable condition and trend reporting

  • provide data to enable measures of compliance with state and national guidelines and standards, and

  • provide a framework of river water quality monitoring across NSW upon which other programs can build.

This data is then used for: - Basin Technical Reports - Matter 12 Reports - River Condition Index - Water Quality Index

Note: If you would like to ask a question, make any suggestions, or tell us how you are using this dataset, please visit the NSW Water Hub which has an online forum you can join.
