[Image changes to show a view of a small boat next to an AquaWatch sensor in a large body of water with buildings and mountains behind]
[Camera pans up and over the water]
[Image changes to show a small boat in a large body of water approaching an AquaWatch sensor. There are some trees and land in the mid shot and mountains behind]
[Image changes to show a closer shot of the sensor with a green placard and 31 on it. Camera pans around the vessel and sensor, then above]
[Image changes to a shot from above. This is a different body of water and in the background are large trees, some buildings and then mountains. There is something small in the water]
[Image changes to show close up of the AquaWatch sensor. In the background is a small tinny with two people in the boat]
[Image changes to close up of a man outdoors in front of a large tree and body of water. He has short grey hair, glasses and has a white collared shirt under a grey knit jumper]
Dr Alex Herd: So the AquaWatch mission is part of a large program in the Australian National Science Agency, CSIRO. It’s designed to bring together technologies that measure water quality with in-situ sensors as well as satellite imaging technologies and models which will then design, which will be used as an operational water quality monitoring system. We anticipate using AquaWatch as an early warning system for the people who are interested in understanding whether water can be used for swimming or recreation or for, for drinking water in case of toxic algae blooms as well as sediment in the water or too much organic matter which we call in Australia black water events.

Secretary Wade Crowfoot: Australia and California share so much in common - both beautiful places, dynamic, forward looking populations and two places on the planet that are being impacted similarly by climate change. So think worsening droughts, intensified floods, extreme heat and all the challenges to our natural resources that brings. We are so excited to be partnering and learning from CSIRO which is Australia’s National Science Agency. And it’s remarkable, CSIRO has among the world’s leading scientists that are using remote imaging to understand water quality.
[Image changes to a close up of a woman outdoors standing on grass with a body of water to her left. She has blonde hair just below her shoulders, large earrings and is wearing a black top]
Dr Erin Hester: AquaWatch is developing new technologies that are going to help us monitor that water quality more effectively, quicker and with better precision by bringing in multiple technologies into a new computing infrastructure that helps our water management agencies and decision makers do a better job of ensuring clean water for all of California and, one day, all of the world.
