The strategy is based onthe philosophy of EcologicallyDamselfly from Koonung CreekSustainable Development (ESD). Theguidelines are used as a resource inorder to guide the ecologicalprocesses, on which life depends andis maintained.The 2013 Waterwatch Annual Reportuses the ANZECC guidelines to rateturbidity, electrical conductivity, pH andortho phosphorus at a site and subcatchmentscale using a score systemrated from ‘A’ (best quality) down to‘F’ (most degraded).
