Lower Swan Canning Estuary to Upper Swan Estuary Water Quality Monitoring 2014-15

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) conducts routine monitoring of water quality in the Swan Canning Estuary. Data collected through the monitoring program is used to inform management of the river system by DBCA.

Data produced through the monitoring program provides essential information to assess system response to management actions and to report against estuary water quality targets, and phytoplankton trigger levels. Data produced have also been utilised in numerous investigations conducted by both government agencies and tertiary institutions, including modelling, that contribute to our understanding of estuary condition and response and that evaluate potential impacts on the system into the future.

Data collected is stored in the Water Information Network (WIN) database maintained by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) and is made publicly available via the Water Information Reporting (WIR) portal.
