Water quality testing 
Waterwatch volunteers do water quality testing once per month, monitoring seven parameters in the water: temperature, dissolved oxygen , electrical conductivity , pH , nitrate , phosphorus and turbidity . These parameters are useful indicators of the ecological health of a waterway.
After training, volunteers have a kit and a dedicated site for their monthly testing. Volunteers upload their water quality testing results to the Waterwatch website. This Citizen Science data is used in the CHIP report and in many other ways to inform and improve catchment management.
If you would like to volunteer, contact us for more details and available sites.
Other ways to volunteer include helping with water bug surveys, Frogwatch and Platypus month.
