Cairns, QLD installs smart catchment on Saltwater Creek to monitor impacts on Great Barrier Reef

Cairns, QLD Saltwater Creek Smart Catchment Impacts

In Progress

The smart catchment system includes 30 sensors, cameras, and flow meters throughout the creek. Data from the catchment are sent to a public dashboard every 15 minutes. Dashboard users find measurements in seven areas including water temperature, salinity, and nitrate levels. This pilot engaged young residents in understanding water quality data with an educational game called Mobi's Catchment Challenge.
