23-7-2019 NICA volunteers are out on the river on a monthly basis taking water samples and analysing the results for 14 river sites and 14 creek sites. ‘It may be concluded that the Noosa River is in quite good condition and near compliant with the lowest level of compliance (80th percentile) of the DES water quality guidelines. The warning signs from the data for the tributary creeks draining from populated areas indicate that ongoing monitoring and greater control of those streams would be prudent.’
Thanks to Bruce McConkey for the report. This project is supported by Noosa Council. Here is a link to the full report for 18-19.
