Strategic Water Information and Monitoring Plan (SWIMP) 2011
Funding Program
Strategic Water Information and Monitoring Plans
Strategic Water Information Coordinators (SWICs) have compiled Strategic Water Information and Monitoring Plans (SWIMPs) for each state and territory (apart from the ACT). They consulted water information collectors named in the regulations in each jurisdiction during the development of the SWIMPs.
These SWIMPs articulate jurisdictional water information needs, strategies and plans and provide useful guidance for ongoing investment. In particular they have been valuable in assisting the Bureau to target funding through the 'Modernisation and Extension of Hydrologic Systems Program'.
Each SWIMP contains information on:
- current status of water information collection and monitoring systems
- gaps in networks and knowledge
- issues and opportunities
- priorities, strategies and actions.
Together, the SWIMPs contribute toward a national picture of water information activities in Australia.
