Welcome to Saltwatch

Saltwatch is an environmental monitoring program that helps communities better understand the salinity problem. Saltwatch began in 1987 and is now Australia's longest running community water monitoring program.

During Saltwatch Week (the second week of May), schools and community groups from all over Victoria can learn about the effects of salinity on water quality in their local catchment by collecting local water sources and testing with a salinity meter to determine salt content.
