WATER QUALITY

Water quality is a critical aspect of environmental health, particularly in regions like the Murray-Darling Basin, where the balance of ecosystems, recreational activities, and agricultural practices depends on maintaining high standards. Comprehensive water quality assessment involves multiple layers of monitoring and reporting, including Matter 12 evaluations, Basin Technical Reports, and SWAMP Monitoring Reports. Together, these efforts provide a holistic view of water quality conditions, track progress towards established targets, and guide management actions to protect and enhance the health of rivers and catchments across New South Wales and the broader Basin area.
