dc.description.abstractThe Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission has a national responsibility to provideinformation and intelligence on criminal activity. Much of the harm that Australians sufferat the hands of organised crime is due to the trade in illicit substances and abuse of licitsubstances at the instigation of serious and organised crime groups who profit fromimporting, trafficking, manufacturing and selling drugs.This National Wastewater Drug Monitoring Program report is the third in a series of ninepublic reports which will detail the findings of the national wastewater program until theend of 2019. This report provides statistically valid datasets of drug use and distributionpatterns across a large number of sites in capital cities and regional areas.As noted when the first National Wastewater Drug Monitoring Program report wasreleased, wastewater is widely applied internationally as a tool to measure and interpretdrug use within national populations. Wastewater analysis provides a measure of oneimportant aspect of national health—the demand for a range of licit and illicit drugs. Anunderstanding of this behaviour allows governments to effectively direct resources topriority areas, and also to monitor the progress of demand and supply reduction strategies
