May 2012: Equatica is currently working with Rockdale Council to undertake water quality monitoring at 17 sites across the LGA. This will be the first time that a comprehensive assessment of Rockdale's waterways has been undertaken for more than ten years. As part of this project Equatica will also undertake statistical analysis of the water quality data to detect patterns and to also benchmark Rockdale's waterways with other urban receiving waters in Sydney.
There's more information about our monitoring experience on our monitoring projects page.
Cities of the future will support healthy and diverse ecosystems with urban water environments as places of beauty and play. The urban water cycle will be based on local catchments and the water cycle elements will be resources which can be utilised locally, reused and substituted as required. Urban waterways, wetlands and lakes will be key components of the urban water cycle. Such an approach will enhance and protect receiving environments.
