After a three-year audit, the scathing assessment of the city\u2019s water supply also found seven of the 18 key indicators for the water system\u2019s health were worsening. The audit found climate change posed a risk to the city\u2019s main water catchment providing adequate, good quality water to the greater Sydney area in the future.<\/p>\n<p>It found climate change was the \u201cgreatest driver of the overall health of the catchment\u201d, noting the severe impact of events including the black summer bushfires, which burned about a third of the catchment area. The catchment, which takes in several major river systems including the Hawkesbury-Nepean, covers more than 160,000 sq kms and collects and stores drinking water for Sydney and the surrounding regions.<\/p>\n<p>The audit found the catchment\u2019s macroinvertebrate communities were in decline due in part to habitat degradation and deteriorating wetlands. \u201cFurther decline is likely due to climate change and increasing bushfires, especially in wetlands already under stress from impacts such as longwall mining or urban development,\u201d the audit found. The report concluded two of three indicators of water quality \u2013 raw water quality and nutrient concentrations \u2013 were worsening in many waterways.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2023\/aug\/09\/sydneys-drinking-water-quality-under-threat-from-climate-crisis-report-finds\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-368\/\">Sydney\u2019s drinking water quality under threat from climate crisis, report finds<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[5423,575,3993],"class_list":["post-115970","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-drinking-water","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-sydney"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115970\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
