Yarra inputs - Tracking sources of faecal pollution

The Yarra River is being used more and more for a range of water-based recreational activities, and the presence of bacterial contamination presents a potential public health risk to recreational users. Identifying the types of faecal contamination and how and where it is entering the Yarra River is fundamental to ongoing improvements in recreational water quality. This information is necessary to allow the direction of management action and resource investment to areas where they will have the maximum benefit in reducing faecal contamination inputs.
EPA Victoria and Melbourne Water are leading a three-year Yarra River Action Plan project to locate and remove key sources of faecal pollution entering the middle and lower reaches of the Yarra River.
