River assessment sites

By 2026, detailed river health assessments have been carried out at more than 400 sites across the South West of Western Australia (see map), with repeated assessments undertaken over time at most of these .

Under the Healthy Rivers program about 150 unique sites are monitored over a three to five year rotation, with additional sites visited each year as needed to assess new priority areas.

For summaries of river condition for each of these sites, go to Results.

The SWIRC methods are also being used externally, by regional catchment councils and community groups, water services providers and academics, for projects such as, monitoring across our large water supply dams.  Where possible, these data are made available through the Healthy Rivers website
