Title: Ambient Water Quality Monitoring of Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert
Custodian: EPA
Jurisdiction: South Australia
This program monitors the water quality in these lakes based on fives sites in Lake Alexandrina and three in Lake Albert. The sites and characteristics were chosen based on environmental issues for the lakes.

Geographic bounding box:
The bounding box encloses the maximum extents of the dataset. There may be voids or gaps within the bounding box, depending on the defined coverage of the dataset. Outer bounding rectangle as Latitude/Longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 datum (expressed as both Degrees Minutes Seconds and as decimal Degrees):
- North bounding latitude: 26 00 00.0 S (-26)
- South bounding latitude: 38 30 00.0 S (-38.5)
- East bounding longitude: 141 00 00.0 E (141)
- West bounding longitude: 129 00 00.0 E (129)
Lineage:
Monitoring is carried out regularly by SA Water at the intake into the Milang as well as the current monitoring. Water quality monitoring was carreed out at other sites prior to 1995 by other agencies and their data is also available..
