The main water-quality issues for Victoria have traditionally been salinity, turbidity, nitrogen and phosphorus. We affect waterways through our everyday activities, and we must work together to reduce our impact. Poor water quality has serious implications for the ecological health of inland waters, biodiversity, and human and livestock health.The team sampled more than 190 invertebrates and found pharmaceuticals in every one of them. Beach Report.
The issue is less prevalent in the nine other catchments where DELWP has the clear coordination role. Consequently, SoE 2018 is a significant update to water-quality information, due to the trend data that has been supplied by DELWP on a range of quality indicators measured at approximately 80 sites.The impact of residual flows of water pollution on people and the environment already appears to some extent in Victoria’s traditional economic accounts (the System of National Accounts). Water for Victoria provides a long-term blueprint for investment in water-related activities and the water sector. At a state and national level, these variables are considered the most significant river contaminants. The water quality monitoring framework would be developed by DELWP with support from other agencies and community. Increased bushfires will also impact on water quality and riparian vegetation.Department of Environment, Land, Water and PlanningFramework for the State of the Environment 2023 ReportStatus: fair in the East Gippsland, North East and Glenelg Hopkins catchments, and poor in other catchments.land use (adjacent to waterways, but also in the catchment)There has been an increased focus on the water quality sector since 2013. However, the amounts attributable to water pollution are not identified in the traditional accounts. They collected data on:Waterhole Creek near Morwell in the Latrobe Valley is valued by the local community as a place for recreation as well as for its plants and animals. Diffuse sources, such as urban stormwater, are now the most significant contributor to pollution of Melbourne’s rivers, creeks and wetlands. This type of account can also be used to assess efforts by government, industry and households to reduce water-pollution emissions.Future water quality monitoring needs to include a network of long-term sites complemented by targeted monitoring of water pollution hotspots.
