3.2 Rural and urban runoff (and other pollution sources)
3.2.1
Rural runoff
The hinterland sub-catchments within the broader Noosa River catchment have the potential to deliver
sediment laden runoff into waterways and wetlands when it rains, especially former timbered areas which
have typically been replaced by agriculture lands and road networks.
This transition has involved broad clearing across the landscape (including hill slopes) to make way for crop
growing and animal raising and has made landscapes vulnerable to soil loss. Runoff from these areas can
contain elevated quantities of sediment, nutrients and chemical contaminants (e.g. animal faeces, fertilisers
and pesticides), and microbial contaminants (e.g. bacteria).
