Research and Monitoring
Last modified: December 18, 2008 - 1:11 PM
Port Stephens On-site Sewage Management program provides funding to undertake research and chemical and biological monitoring of surface waters and drains.
Council regularly undertakes research projects with external organisations such as the University of Newcastle. Reseach is considered an important component of Councils program as it provides vital information on how different systems operate, how systems impact on the environment and how to best manage systems.
Routine and event based monitoring is regularly undertaken on surface waters, rivers, creeks and drains. Monitoring of these locations for chemical, biological and micro-biological paramaters helps Council understand a water bodies general "health" and also to identify potential sources or activities of pollution.
