In 2010, the Department of Water received funding from Wheatbelt NRM to remove sediment from Gwambygine Pool. In addition, funding was provided to undertake a study of the impacts of sediment removal on the ecological health of Gwambygine, Katrine and Reserve pools. This included monitoring water quality (focusing on temperature and dissolved oxygen), physical form features and aquatic biota before and after sediment removal.
