Understanding our catchment
Understanding our catchment
WaterNSW conducts pathogen, landuse and wildfire research to better understand
our catchments.
Understanding the complex land uses, pollution sources and impacts across the 16,000 kilometres of greater Sydney's drinking water catchment is critical to the work of WaterNSW. This knowledge informs our priorities and decisions about catchment programs.
The following summaries highlight some of our key knowledge and research areas about catchments:
- State of the Science - catchment impacts report
- Pollution Source Assessment Tool
- Landuse research
- Pathogen research using innovative tracers
- Wildfires research
- Mining research
