Our Environment / Get Involved in National Water Week
Every third week of October, the Australian Water Association organises National Water Week and makes a splash across Australia, inspiring individuals, communities and organisations to build awareness around the value of water. Access to clean water is hugely important to our daily lives, and it’s down to all of us to protect our water environments and resources, and use water wisely.
Environment / Waterways ‘good’ despite record-breaking weather
Released today, the 2020 Wet Tropics Report Card assesses the health of nine river basins from the Daintree to the Herbert. It is produced annually by Wet Tropics Waterways as an initiative of the Reef 2050 Plan, an Australian and Queensland Government framework for protecting and managing water quality flowing to the Great Barrier Reef lagoon.
The report card analyses scientific monitoring data from many organisations and is reviewed by an independent scientific panel made up of individuals with a range of expertise.
