ACTGOV Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch CHIP Reach Data - for download

Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch engages the community in the environment through monitoring and caring for our catchments. We educate and raise awareness in schools and the community on issues concerning catchment health and we use data collected by volunteers to inform policy and on ground catchment management. This dataset contains annual scores of the water quality, waterbug diversity and abundance, riparian vegetation condition and overall health of 101 reaches (stretches of waterway and related waterbodies) in the Upper Murrumbidgee River catchment, 2015 - 2024. Scores are calculated from monthly water quality data collected by Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch volunteers, and waterbug and riparian vegetation assessments conducted by Waterwatch staff. Detailed methods can be found in the Catchment Health Indicator Program (CHIP) reports produced each year by Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch: https://www.act.waterwatch.org.au/data/chip-reports The data are best viewed using the Waterwatch interactive map and data dashboard.上默伦比奇河水资源观察项目（Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch）通过监测与管护流域，引导社区参与环境保护工作。该项目面向学校与社区开展教育活动，提升公众对流域健康相关议题的认知，并依托志愿者采集的数据为政策制定与流域实地管护提供决策依据。本数据集涵盖2015至2024年间上默伦比奇河流域101个河段（水道及相关水体区段）的水质、水生昆虫多样性与丰度、河岸植被状况以及整体健康状况年度评分。评分依据上默伦比奇河水资源观察项目志愿者采集的月度水质数据，以及项目工作人员开展的水生昆虫与河岸植被评估结果计算得出。详细方法可查阅上默伦比奇河水资源观察项目每年发布的《流域健康指标项目（Catchment Health Indicator Program, CHIP）》年度报告，具体链接为：https://www.act.waterwatch.org.au/data/chip-reports。建议通过Waterwatch交互式地图与数据仪表盘查看本数据集。
