Waterwatch Northern and Yorke

Key indicators of waterway health that participants measure include, flow rates, turbidity, salinity (EC), pH and macroinvertebrates (water bugs). Volunteers are trained and supported by Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board staff.
The data is collected for a range of purposes;
• to monitor the long-term trends and condition of our waterways
• to monitor the effects of riparian revegetation projects and other local land management activities
• as part of property Environmental Management Systems (EMS)
• to monitor the performance of Water Allocation Plans and the Flows for the Future project
• for community education and information sharing.

参与监测的水道健康关键指标包括流速、浊度、盐度（EC）、pH值以及大型无脊椎动物（macroinvertebrates，即水生昆虫）。志愿者由默里兰兹与里弗兰德景观委员会（Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board）的工作人员开展培训并提供支持。
本数据集的采集服务于多重目标：
• 监测本地水道的长期变化趋势与健康状况
• 评估河岸植被恢复项目及其他本地土地管理活动的实施成效
• 作为物业环境管理体系（Environmental Management Systems，EMS）的组成部分
• 监控水分配计划与未来流量项目（Flows for the Future）的执行绩效
• 用于社区教育与信息共享工作。
