The likelihood of water quality issues is typically lowest across cooler months.
Key water quality issues:
- Harmful algal blooms: Algae can pose a risk to the health of humans and animals.
Blue-green algae levels are currently elevated across much of the Basin including northern Basin rivers/storages, NSW central west, mid-Murray systems, and Victorian central/northern storages.
A marine algal bloom is currently impacting SA's north Coorong.
Water quality within the Basin is monitored by individual States. Any site-specific alerts, warnings or advisories are issued by those respective States.
