The RAW Water Quality Data is collected under The State Water Quality Assessment and Monitoring Project (SWAMP). The State Water Quality Assessment and Monitoring Project (SWAMP) is a state wide project responsible for collecting, analysing and reporting the ambient water quality condition of rivers in NSW.

SWAMP collects water quality data monthly to:

• assess ambient river water quality in terms of electrical conductivity, temperature, turbidity, total suspended solids, pH, dissolved oxygen, phosphorus and nitrogen at selected sites across NSW

• provide high quality, long term, statistically robust data to enable condition and trend reporting

• provide data to enable measures of compliance with state and national guidelines and standards, and

• provide a framework of river water quality monitoring across NSW upon which other programs can build.

This data is then used for: - Basin Technical Reports - Matter 12 Reports - River Condition Index - Water Quality Index

Note: If you would like to ask a question, make any suggestions, or tell us how you are using this dataset, please visit the NSW Water Hub which has an online forum you can join.
