Brief description Is groundwater the missing nutrient source to the Great Barrier Reef? This project aims to reveal whether groundwater is a major missing source of nutrients to the Great Barrier Reef. Billions of dollars have been spent on improving water quality in the reef environment, yet nutrient budgets and the sources of pollution remain poorly quantified. This project expects to use cutting-edge technology and modelling to quantify the legacy of past land use practices on groundwater reef-nutrient dynamics. The expected outcomes of this study will provide both land and marine managers with crucial insight into how to allocate resources to best manage water quality to meet desired environmental outcomes.
