Monitoring
We have an industry-leading environmental monitoring network in place, which covers all areas of the water environment, such as:
- Groundwater levels
- Surface water levels (river and lake levels)
- Ecology (macroinvertebrates and macrophytes)
- Spot flow gauging (river flows)
- Rainfall (rain gauges)
Much of this monitoring network was established in 2014, with some starting as early as 2010. The network has significantly grown since then, and we'll continue to expand it through to 2025 and beyond. We collect, analyse and interpret this data to help us assess the response of the groundwater abstraction reductions to our river catchments.
