Saltwatch Week
What: This is a program that raises awareness about salinity issues in our region. Participants will actively take part in assessing the condition of waterways from across Victoria. You will have the opportunity to:
- Learn about the effects of salinity on water quality in your local catchment
- Collect and sample salinity from a waterway near you
- Contribute significant information on salinity to a state-wide database
The North Central Catchment Management Authority, in partnership with the Victorian Waterwatch Program, is encouraging community groups, landholders and volunteers to take part in this year’s snapshot monitoring event. The event is a great opportunity to contribute salinity information from our waterways to a statewide database.
