3) The ACT Government is considering an integrated program of activities, which includes the development of a catchment plan for improving water quality in Yerrabi Pond.
4) Yerrabi is monitored 6-8 times a year, mainly in the summer, at 0.5m intervals to 3.8m (the bottom) for temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and conductivity. Enterococci are also monitored in the water sample from the pond surface. A surface water column sample is analysed for temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, turbidity, total organic carbon, total suspended solids, ammonia, nitrate, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, chlorophyll-a, total algae and algal composition. Yerrabi Pond is also monitored monthly at two sites (an inlet and the outlet) by Waterwatch volunteers for pH, turbidity, dissolved reactive phosphorous, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, macroinvertebrate (water bug) community composition and riparian condition.
5) Yerrabi Pond is included in the Waterwatch Catchment Health Indicator Report, which is produced annually and is available online.
6) The reports are publicly available.
7) A floating wetland is being installed in the bay draining Amaroo. Delays in supply chains have postponed this deployment and altered the design of the wetland however it is expected that the works will be completed this financial year.
