The work undertaken on the Swan-Canning River Basin by the Centre for Water Research has been made possible by the generosity of some private individuals, the Scanlon Family, Brandcourage, Oceanica Consulting Pty Ltd, The University of Western Australia and the Water Corporation.
THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO REAP THE BENEFITS OF TAKING A LEADERSHIP STANCE IN THE MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT OF THE VITAL SWAN-CANNING RIVER BASIN SYSTEM.
To champion the world's first Real Time Management System (RMSO). [RMSO Brochure]
Simply put, the RMSO is a powerful freely available interactive website that engages, connects and encourages all Western Australians to participate in the care and protection of our river. It provides 'real time' easy to understand information on the impacts of development, climate change, effluent disposal, nutrient enrichment, and pathogen dispersal on our coastal ocean receiving waters. There is already a lot to be proud of. The RMSO global breakthrough has been wholly created and developed by the Centre for Water Research (CWR) at The University of Western Australia, and it is currently being used in Sydney, Melbourne and around the world.
IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION, WILL YOU BE SEEN AS PART OF THE PROBLEM ?
Government Departments, Councils, schools and industry have all seen the advantages of optimising our water management, and are getting involved with the RMSO.
AS A DONOR/SPONSOR YOU OR YOUR COMPANY WILL BE GIVEN VISIBLE RECOGNITION AND CREDIT FOR CONTRIBUTING TO OUR INVALUABLE WATER RESOURCES BY:
- Installing further state-of-the-art monitoring equipment in the Swan-Canning River Basin.
- Extending the potency and application of the RMSO.
- Connecting with schools and developing a partnership with Millennium Kids (a statewide education network fostering a new generation of environmental leaders and scientists).

Could there be a more relevant and compelling way to demonstrate your company's social and corporate responsibility than the monitoring and management of our most precious resource?
