TSRA Groundwater Monitoring: Final Report 2022
Other Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
The Torres Strait groundwater monitoring program is a joint initiative between James Cook University’s Centre for Tropical Water and Aquatic Ecosystem Research (TropWATER), Townsville, and the Torres Strait Island Regional Authority. The program included rangers from four Island communities in the Torres Strait - Saibai, St Paul’s, Warraber, and Masig Islands, who were trained in methods for monitoring water quality.Recommendations going forward include increasing training for Rangers, community engagement regarding safe use of groundwater, investigating new wells and expanding water sampling to other existing wells, and continued monitoring for contaminants. Ideally, consider in engaging in the process of producing a groundwater quality management plan for Torres Strait Island communities following the Water Quality Australia ‘Guidelines for groundwater protection in Australia: National Water Quality Management Strategy’.
