Coastal Water Quality Monitoring 101

Explore coastal water quality monitoring fundamentals in this 54-minute webinar from the Australian Water School. Learn about the drivers for water quality management, common issues, and data needs. Discover various modelling approaches, including sediment transport, advection dispersion, water quality, and particle tracking, to support evidence-based decision-making in aquatic environments. Gain insights into addressing environmental and water quality questions faced by scientists, engineers, researchers, managers, and regulators working in coastal zones. Understand how to assess contaminant transport under different conditions, predict impacts on environmentally sensitive areas, and improve project design, monitoring, operation, and maintenance to minimize potential impacts.
