Swan Canning Water Quality Improvement Plan (WQIP)'s main focus is...

• to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus into the Swan Canning river

  system

• to reduce the introduction of pathogens into the Swan Canning river system

• to reduce the introduction of heavy metals into the Swan Canning river system

• to reduce the introduction of industrial pollution into the Swan Canning river system

The name of the project aimed at maintaining the health of the river is called

• The ‘Urban Waterways Renewal’ project

• The 'Better Rivers' Project

• The 'Clean Water Act'

• The 'Swan River Recovery Programme'

One of the key lessons learnt was that: The most efficient & cost effective method for delivery of large Urban Waterway renewal projects is...

• with collaborative partnerships driven by community

  with direct involvement at the Local Government

  Authority level.

• recovering from urban pollution problems is much more expensive than avoiding these problems in the first place

• urban areas have few water pollution problems

• non-point source pollution is the primary cause of water quality issues in the Swan River
