Catchment Scorecard

A key initiative of the Association is to develop a realistic measure of the state of the environmental health of our catchments.  So often we see a creek or river get a reasonably high score from a government study, when we know that, from a holistic perspective, that that river is actually in bad shape.  Our Catchment Scorecard was developed with the assistance of the Griffith University School of Environmental Science.  It is designed to be used by non-scientists to provide a rating that considers a whole range of factors for your section of creek or river.
