The Colo River is located within the Hawkesbury–Nepean catchment and consists of 4 subcatchments: the Colo, Wolgan, Capertree and Wollemi. The biological assessment these subcatchments found they supported a high diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrates or small animals, which is an indicator of good water quality. The landscape and waterflows of the subcatchments were also found to be in good condition, indicating the Colo River and its feeder rivers are in good health.
