  • Gympie – Amamoor Waterwatch Report
    Gympie – Amamoor Waterwatch Report 2010 – 2011 Mary River – Dagun Pocket, January 2011 Report prepared by: Brad Wedlock, Steve Burgess & Eva Ford MRCCC Catchment Officers June 2011 DisseminatedThis report Augustprepared 2010 with the assistance of the Gympie Regional Council Environment Levy Introduction The volunteers of the Gympie-Amamoor Waterwatch network have collected water quality data for more than 8 years which is now providing the community, scientists and government agencies with a better understanding of the characteristics of the waterways in this part of the Mary River catchment. Without this committed volunteer effort we would not have access to this valuable information. It is sad to have to report on the loss of one of our first Waterwatch volunteers; Eddie Gresham, who diligently collected data from the Mary River and Kybong Creek since 2003 and continued until shortly before he passed away. Eva has fond memories of careering across muddy paddocks with Eddie on his quad checking out old sites and looking for a new site to monitor on the Mary River! This past year saw a La Nina weather cycle which produced levels of flooding not seen in many years, and severe damage to some parts of the catchment. Many families and their properties, including Waterwatch volunteers, were directly affected by the floods and we extend our thoughts and wishes to these people. Minor levels of flooding started in March 2010, and by Christmas 2010 the entire Mary Catchment was saturated. Repeated summer floods culminated in the January 2011 floods. Along the Mary River and in some creeks there was severe scour, erosion and damage to vegetation due to the very rapid and sustained stream height rises.
