WHAT IS THE NATIONAL OUTFALL DATABASE?

First Let's

Discover

This project will develop a National Outfall Database thet integrates information about pollutants arising from sewerage treatment and their distribution from sewerage outfalls around Australia

Now let's WORK

Conserve

Information on Australia's (estimated) 144 sewerage outfalls requires validation and consolidation to provide a clear understanding of their impacts for governments & coastal communities

IT'S UP TO US

The National Outfall Database will collect this information and provide a single access point. The project will link decision makers, water authorities as well as bringing together local coastal communities
