Waterway health — Ecological — Water quality

This dataset was derived from the Local Waterway Health Assessment and Evaluation (LWHA) program. Brisbane City Council monitors aquatic indicators of ecosystem health including fish, macrophytes, riparian habitat and water quality within the Council’s catchments. The resources represented is the consolidation of the LWHA biotic and abiotic data since 2006. Monitoring of these aquatic indicators helps increase our understanding of the health and function of Brisbane’s waterways. This enables us to meet compliance and legislative requirements, deliver against Council corporate performance indicators and develop a knowledge-base to feed into waterway management programs across Brisbane. More information on waterway health can be found on the Brisbane City Council website. The Data and resources section of this dataset contains further information for this dataset.
