 Case Study: Serpentine River
The Serpentine River, prior to settlement, was a series of lakes joining in the rainy season to snake down to the Peel-Harvey estuary in Western Australia.
The river's choking death throes were the call to action for landholders, community members and regulators along the system who have applied for a series of Natural Heritage Trust grants from the Australian Government to try to urgently clean up the catchment.
In the Harvey River, another heavily drained system, Natural Heritage Trust funds are being used to access around $750,000 set aside by the local potable water suppliers for works south of one of their dams.
