At each site, dissolved oxygen levels are measured from the surface through to the bottom. The oxygen results are displayed weekly on the Swan River Trust's website at www.swanrivertrust.wa.gov. au The oxygen results are also entered into the Department of Water's central database. The results are available to the public and can be obtained by completing a data request form, which is available on the Department of Water's website at www.water.wa.gov.au (4) In addition to the $6.3 million committed this year to the Swan-Canning Cleanup, Drainage Nutrient Intervention and Riverbank programs, the Government recently committed to several new initiatives aimed at improving the health of the Swan and Canning rivers, including: · The new Swan and Canning Rivers Management Act 2006 will establish a Swan Canning Riverpark and provide the Swan River Trust with powers to stop river-harming activities and improve the health of the rivers in the long-term. · An additional $1.4 million has been committed to the Drainage Nutrient Intervention Program to help stem the flow of excess nutrients into the Swan River from the Ellen Brook catchment. · The State Government recently announced that an increased levy on casino gaming machines is expected to generate $15million in revenue over the next five years for river projects. · The State Government has met with representative of the fertiliser industry as a first step towards developing an action plan to phase-out highly water-soluble phosphate fertiliser on the Swan Coastal Plain within four years. (5) Yes. (6) This will depend on the results of the trial. If the trial is successful, the Swan River Trust will consider operating the oxygen plant over the 2007 autumn period as this is a critical time when low oxygen conditions can occur in the river. (7) There are two oxygenation plants on the Canning River. The Bacon Street oxygenation plant began operation on 17 October 1999. The oxygenation plant at Camsell Way started operation on 15 May 2000. (8) The Canning River oxygenation plants provide oxygen over a 2.3 km stretch of river upstream of the Kent Street Weir, Cannington. The Swan River oxygenation project is a trial and results will be collected to understand the area influenced by increased oxygen.

(7) There are two oxygenation plants on the Canning River. The Bacon Street oxygenation plant began operation on 17 October 1999. The oxygenation plant at Camsell Way started operation on 15 May 2000. (8) The Canning River oxygenation plants provide oxygen over a 2.3 km stretch of river upstream of the Kent Street Weir, Cannington.
