Water Quality – Coomera

May 15, 2021 at 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Water Quality Survey

Learn how to assess the health of our waterways through water quality sampling!

Help the team collect readings using our state of the art equipment. The Water Quality program collects monthly readings at select locations in order to assess the changing quality of our waterways throughout the year. We also rely on our volunteers to record observational details that could have an effect on the water quality reading such as current and recent weather conditions, visible rubbish and pollution, weeds, site usage or disturbance, and wildlife sightings.

The data collected is shared with local councils and highlights those areas where action needs to be taken! If you are passionate about the environment and keen to contribute to its preservation, we encourage you to come along and meet like-minded people while learning new skills and collecting vital data!

We are heading out to our Northern sites with the Coomera River Catchment Group! Meeting time will be at 09:00 AM at Rivermill Terrace picnic area, just off Riverstone crossing, Coomera.

Gum boots/water shoes. No one will be permitted to enter the water without shoes due to safety concerns.

Sun protection: Natural non-polluting sunscreen, wide-brimmed hat, long sleeves
