This dataset is part of the assessment and mapping of the marine impacts of wastewater disposal to ocean and estuarine waters in Australia. The data collected in this study is intended to be used to assist decision makers to understand risk and prioritise investment, to help the public understand water and wastewater management and make decisions when choosing recreation locations, and private operators seeking to re-use wastewater or products found within wastewater. Each outfall is divided into three levels of data; one (1) being basic information such as location, treatment, governance and size; two (2) being more detailed information taken from publicly available annual environmental monitoring reports, licence and other information; and three (3) containing highly detailed information such as daily performance data and receiving waters ecosystem assessments and studies to enable researchers and others to undertake comparative studies. The data custodian will make a data report and methodology available to provide a full explanation of this database. The National Outfall Database is an online resource available here: https://www.outfalls.info/ The database currently tracks 48 indicators across 192 monitoring sites. The data is also available for download in CSV format in the "online resources" section of this record, and will continue to be updated as new data becomes available (data currently available to 30/06/2022 - last checked 19/01/2024. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[112.546875, -44.8106495489], [155.4375, -44.8106495489], [155.4375, -9.87896205428], [112.546875, -9.87896205428], [112.546875, -44.8106495489]]]} 112.546875 155.4375 -44.8106495489 -9.87896205428 BOD Filtered Biological oxygen demand 5 days (BOD5) Blue-Green Algal Bloom Chemical Oxygen Demand Colour Concentration of Ammonia Nitrogen per unit volume of the water body Concentration of Calcium per unit volume of the water body Concentration of Magnesium per unit volume of the water body Concentration of Nitrate Nitrogen per unit volume of the water body Concentration of Oil and Grease Concentration of Sodium per unit volume of the water body Concentration of ammonia {NH3} per unit volume of the water body Concentration of faecal coliform bacteria Concentration of total nitrogen {TN} per unit volume of the water body Concentration of total phosphorus {TP} per unit volume of the water body E-coli Enterococci Faecal Coliforms Flow Volume Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) Surfactants (MBAS) Temperate Reef Total Algae Count Total Blue-Green Algae Count Total Coliforms Total Dissolved Solids Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) DATA ACCESS - NOD sampling 2014-2022 [CSV] documentDigital WFS NESP:NESP_NationalOutfallDatabase_MAP documentDigital MAP - National Outfall Database sampling sites WMS NESP_NationalOutfallDatabase documentDigital This OCG WFS service returns the outfall data for download in multiple formats, including CSV.
