Stormwater Quality
The North Arm East Catchment Management Plan currently being prepared by Council has indicated a number of opportunities
where stormwater could potentially be collected within the North Arm East Catchment, with associated estimation of stormwater
harvesting yields, as shown in the below table.
Wetland area
Harvesting yield (ML/year)
State Sports Park 1 & 2
80 - 120
3
120-180
Enfield Cemetery
TBA
Barker Inlet Wetlands
1240

These potential water harvesting areas would assist in not only capturing stormwater and re-using it, but improving the water quality
as a whole within the North Arm East Catchment.
The amount of stormwater discharged is useful information when assessing potential reuse options for stormwater, including
Aquifer Storage and recovery (ASR). The
Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources - Water Connect Surface
Water Archive
provides data of surface water monitoring throughout South Australia. Nearly all of the monitoring is done for River
Catchments outside of the City of Port Adelaide Enfield. The only flow data of interest is the sampling point for Torrens River,
located at Holbrooks Road (sampling site AW504529).
