It also allows for the sharing of water monitoring data within the catchment. Anyone with an interest in water and the environment can establish a Waterwatch group. If you live within a catchment where Waterwatch operates, contact your regional coordinator to discuss joining an existing group or starting your own. If you are based outside of the regions where Waterwatch SA operates then contact the State Coordinator to discuss options for developing partnerships with organisations that might be able to support your group's interest in monitoring your local water resources.
Benefits Being part of a team with common interests has many benefits.
Through this team approach, community members can work together to gain local knowledge through their monitoring. As a team you can promote your activities to others in your community, including catchment water management boards to increase their awareness of your catchment's health. Sharing your monitoring work with local authorities concerned with water issues can assist in the long-term management of your local water resources. By involving a wide cross section of people from your local community, your group will be better able to identify, monitor, understand and improve your environment.
