Waterway Health Report Cards: An Australian Perspective

The first waterway health report card was released 20 years ago in south-east Queensland, Australia. This knowledge product provides an overview of how report cards have been developed in Australia since then and outlines the varied objectives, development methodologies, delivery techniques and impact on waterway health that report cards have influenced in Australia. It is intended that this product provides guidance to developing countries in the Indo-Pacific region, and beyond, on how waterway health report cards can assist them in their journey towards sustainable management of water resources and meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
