Yarra Watch
Yarra Watch is an EPA Victoria program, providing recreational water quality monitoring information for the Yarra River. This section is updated weekly and when heavy rain or pollution incidents are expected to significantly affect water quality in the Yarra.
Reminder: Rivers contain a range of potential hazards (such as high flows, unseen objects, litter and bacteria), especially after heavy rains. As storms can occur in the catchment with little warning, river users should take care at all times and not swallow river water.
To find out the general condition ratings and this week's monitoring results, click on one of the sampling points within the three sections (Lower, Middle or Upper) on the map below.
