WaterWatch is a citizen science project focused on water quality monitoring. Data collected through the program goes into the WaterWatch online database and is used by organisations such as Melbourne Water to inform waterway management actions. Parameters such as Temperature, Turbidity (muddiness), Dissolved Oxygen, Reactive Phosphate, pH, and Electrical Conductivity are important indicators of waterway health.

Our friends at Plenty River Rewilding Project are hosting WaterWatch training sessions that will be run in two parts:
Training part 1: Sat 17th May 2025, 10AM-12PM
Training part 2: Sat 25th May 2025, 2PM-4PM

The training will be near the old Maroondah Aqueduct Pipe Bridge in Greensborough, just near our recent planting area. Access is by foot via the laneways off Warrool Court or Hamish Court Greensborough. Refer to the map if you are not familiar with the location. There is access to the river at this location via the concrete steps.
