Understanding Gold Coast Waterways
We are organising an event in which we will have a detailed discussion about the Gold Coast waterways. If you want to join our community as a Waterwatch group or volunteers, then this event can be beneficial for you. The waterways include rivers, lakes, canal, creeks, etc., so having a good understanding of the different waterways will help a lot.

Significance of Waterwatch Manuals
If you want to get involved in the Waterwatch, then you need to follow the manual. It will help you to measure your site in the right way and also assist you in using the right equipment. In this event, we will highlight the importance of a Waterwatch manual and all the information this manual has. It will help you to start thong appropriately.

Parameters to Check Water Quality
Do you know the parameters or different methods to test the water? Well, if you don’t, then this event for you. Our experts will explain how the temperature of the water, dissolved oxygen level, pH, electrical conductivity, etc., can make an impact on the plant species, water bugs and other species. The experts will show different methods, chemicals and tools to monitor water quality.

Waterwatch Safety Measures
If you are monitoring the condition of the water, you need to perform some tests and visit the on-site. Therefore, you need to follow some safety measure that can prevent any accidents or injuries. In this event, we will discuss the safety measure you need to take. From wearing proper clothes and footwear to handling chemicals for testing, you will get all information.

Human Impacts on Waterways
We will organise a seminar in which we will discuss the human impact on the waterways. In this event, experienced land managers, scientists and environmentalists will participate and share their knowledge with everyone. If you attend the event, you will learn how human activities are worsening the condition of the water bodies and how to stop that.

Sample Collection and Preservation
The sample you collect from a lake, river, etc., represents the waterbody that you are testing. Therefore, you must follow the right procedure for the collection and preservation of the sample. A lot of volunteers who are not experienced faced this challenge. Therefore, we are organising an event to address this issue. It will be organised on-site, so you get practical knowledge.

Water Bug Survey
In our community, we also pay attention to the survey of the water bugs. They are small creatures that are visible with naked eyes. Their presence in abundance and extensive diversity is a sign that the waterway is healthy. That is why we also provide valuable information on this subject, so the volunteers can identify different types and their importance.

Environment Education
We will organise this event to educate the students of the school, colleges, other institutes and communities about the environment. It will help them to know about how to take care of nature, particularly the waterways. Providing valuable information at the root level will motivate more people to monitor water quality and overall waterway health.
