The standard of waterways in Australia is generally very good and our waterways are suitable for recreational activities most of the time. However, there is a strong link between rainfall events and the health of our waterways. Rainfall can wash pollutants into our waterways causing certain areas to become unsuitable for recreation and less profitable from an investment point of view.
