Where the Bugs ‘R’

Hundreds of groups across NSW have joined in the fun and taken part by surveying their local waterway for water bugs. These keen wrigglers have entered the number caught for each type of water bug found into the result page on this site. From their findings a Stream Pollution Index (SPI) is calculated, which rates the health of that waterway site.

Together, the results form a snapshot that helps to tell us a story about the health of our waterways across the State.

Why not see how your local waterway rates? If you can’t find a result near where you live, get a group of friends together for the next survey and discover the health of your waterway.

You can view the results in two ways:
View results by map: An on-line mapping system of NSW allows you to zoom into an area to select a testing site of interest. Group results can be viewed by clicking on the site marker appearing on the map.

View results by table: View results by selecting the catchment then sub-catchment of interest.
