Protecting the Catchments
Improving and protecting the quality of water in the rivers upstream and downstream of Sydney’s major water reservoirs is important both for drinking water supply and for maintaining and improving river health.
A wide range of catchment protection actions has been implemented, and others are under way, both in parts of the river catchments supplying Sydney’s drinking water and more broadly.
To find out more visit the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Authority, Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority and Sydney Metro Catchment Management Authority websites or view Chapter 8 of the Plan.
