The Caring for Waterhole Creek project saw Latrobe Valley citizen scientists help protect Waterhole Creek catchment’s water quality.
Citizen scientists used local knowledge to help EPA and West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority (WGCMA) co-design the project.
For a year, citizen scientists did tests at ten sites. The results put in place vital baseline water quality data for the Waterhole Creek catchment.
The data allows EPA to:
- better understand the size and potential sources of any future water quality issues
- support current and future management and regulatory practices.
Waterhole Creek citizen science project - case study (publication 1697) has more about the project.
The project is now complete.
