Water is essential to human life. We all have a responsibility to past, current and future generations to ensure access to healthy fresh water. Combating the issues means we all need to careful what we put down our sinks and into our soils. It is essential that we are proactive in:
 * reducing urban and non-urban diffuse source pollution
 * protecting and conserving high ecological value waterways
 * decreasing point source pollution
 * improving catchment health
 * combating coastal algal blooms
 * increasing the commitment and capacity of the general community
 * improving management via better modelling and evaluation
 * refining the ecosystem health and event monitoring programs. ||

Sue, Philip, William, Sally || How will we develop our research?

In class we went through the following guide to writing research papers: []

Primary Sources

1. We will design a series of surveys in Survey Monkey for members of the student body to complete

2. A indepth interview will be prepared and delivered to the local catchment body 3. An indepth interview will be prepared and delivered to a local scientist

4. Samples of water will be collected from a range of local waterways and analysed in our Science class. A series of photographs will be collected over a period of weeks. 5. S earch for available online focus groups, check their creditials then post some questions for the group and check for replies

Secondary Sources

1. We will check environmental periodicals in the library for any relevant materials 2. We will check the daily newspapers for relevant articles 3. We will check for any existing statistics on local waterways 4. Maintaining a bibliography of all referenced materials || What is our timeline?
