Soil & Water
Quality
Monitoring |
| |
The
conservation of
soil and water
quality
contributes to
all scales of
catchment health
and biodiversity
and benefits the
entire community
which relies on
the many
essential
environmental
services gained
from the local
environment.
Such
environmental
services may
include clean
drinking water,
irrigation
water, and
viable
agricultural
soils necessary
for food
production.
Maintaining soil
and water
quality is a key
issue facing
private
industry,
government and
the public at
large as
population and
industry
expansion
imposes
unprecedented
pressure on our
natural
resources. In
some areas
salinisation of
underground
aquifers renders
water unsuitable
for consumption
or even
irrigation, and
increasing
sediment and
contaminant
discharge to
surface waters
has resulted in
major water
quality decline
to our
waterways.
Historically
poor land
management
practices have
also severely
reduced the
availability of
good quality
agricultural
lands for
agriculture. |
