Quality Monitoring and Management (RMSO)

The RMSO has been implemented in the Swan-Canning River System with sponsorship and donations from individuals, The University of Western Australia and the Water Corporation. The project is been undertaken in collaboration with Millennium Kids Inc., the Department of Health, Department of Water, Water Corporation and Local Government Councils.

Using instrumentation and software developed at the Centre for Water Research the project aims to present a simple strategy for reversing the current degradation of the Swan-Canning River Basin by setting up a modern adaptive management system that will allow the Swan-Canning River Basin and its receiving waters to be managed sustainably for the benefit of the Western Australian community. "Our River" will become a barometer to the sustainable agricultural and industrial practices within the catchment. The expertise, hardware and software have been wholly developed at the Centre for Water Research is in use in 20 countries around the world in Lake Iseo, Italy, Lake Monger, Australia, Rio De La Plata - Argentina, Sydney Catchment Authority Reservoir, Australia and Melbourne Water.
