This report provides extensive information on pesticides used within the Darwin
region, the contamination risk they pose to surface and ground water resources, and
where these pesticides are being used. This information will assist water managers to
target monitoring programs at areas of specific interest, allowing effective and
efficient use of limited resources to detect pesticide contamination where it is most
likely to occur. Maps of the Darwin region have been produced at sub-catchment
scale, and show the distribution of land-use, and associated potential pesticide use
throughout these catchments.,
