About the swan river
The Swan River is a significant river in Western Australia, running approximately 65 kilometers from its source in the Perth Hills to the Indian Ocean. The river is historically significant to the Noongar people, who have occupied the area for thousands of years. The Swan River is also important to the city of Perth, providing drinking water to over 1 million people and supporting agricultural crops such as citrus and grapes. The river has several dams and reservoirs along its length, including the Mundaring Weir and the Walyunga National Park Dam. The river is also a popular recreational area, with activities such as swimming, boating, and fishing. However, the river has faced significant environmental challenges, including pollution and damage to its ecosystem.
