Preface

The Waterwatch Australia National Technical Manual was prepared by the Waterwatch Australia Steering Committee to provide guidance and technical support to the Waterwatch community monitoring network throughout Australia. The content has been gathered from a range of publications, including the existing State Waterwatch Technical Manuals. The guidelines and information reproduced in this Manual have been agreed by the members of the committee based on their knowledge and experience in coordinating community monitoring programs in Australia with advice from the scientific community.

The Manual has been published as a series of modules. Each module is a stand-alone document addressing an important aspect of community waterway monitoring. The following modules are available in the Manual:

  1. Background (this module)
  2. Getting Started: the team, monitoring plan and site
  3. Biological Parameters
  4. Physical and Chemical Parameters
  5. Data...Information...Action!
