  • Meander Catchment
    Meander Catchment Contents 1. About the catchment 2. Streamflow and Water Allocation 3. Water Quality 4. River Health 1. About the catchment The Meander catchment (area ~1,600 km 2) is a land-locked sub-catchment of the South Esk Basin which drains a large part of the central east of Tasmania and discharges into the Tamar Estuary at Launceston. The Meander River is the largest river in this catchment, originating in the foothills of the Great Western Tiers (altitude 1,200 m) and flowing over 100 km to join the South Esk River at Hadspen to the east. Significant tributaries to the Meander River are Western Creek, Quamby Brook and the Liffey River, all three which collect runoff from the northern perimeter of the Tiers and Quamby Bluff, where average annual rainfall exceeds 1,600 mm and intense thunderstorms are generated. At the catchment outlet at Hadspen, local rainfall is about 700 mm per annum. Although there is some forestry occurring in the headwaters of the catchment, a large majority of the catchment is used for agricultural production ranging from cattle and sheep grazing to irrigated cropping and dairy farming. In the Liffey sub-catchment, additional water has been diverted from the Poatina Power Station tailrace at Brumbys Creek into the Liffey River near Bracknell to support agricultural activities. DEPARTMENT of PRIMARY INDUSTRIES and WATER - 1 - 2. Streamflow & Water Allocation Three streamflow monitoring 300 stations are maintained in this catchment as part of the DPIW 250 Statewide monitoring network. These are; 200 • Jackeys Creek downstream 150 Jackeys Marsh (station 18221); 100 Streamflow (Megalitres per day) per (Megalitres Streamflow • Meander River at Strathbridge 50 (station 852); and 0 • Liffey River at Carrick (station Jan-06 Feb-06 Mar-06 Apr-06 May-06 Jun-06 Jul-06 Aug-06 Sep-06 Oct-06 Nov-06 Dec-06 164).

  • Southern Rivers Region
    State of the catchments 2010 Riverine ecosystems Southern Rivers region State Plan target By 2015 there is an improvement in the condition of riverine ecosystems. Background The Southern Rivers region covers more than 30,000 km2, is bounded by Stanwell Park in the Illawarra to the north and includes all coastal catchments south to the Victorian border. The region has nine catchment areas including the Shoalhaven, Illawarra–Hacking, Clyde, Deua, Tuross, Bega and Towamba coastal catchments, and extends westwards to include the Snowy and Genoa catchments (Figure 1). This diverse region has many river systems that include the Minnamura, Kangaroo, Shoalhaven, Clyde, Deua, Tuross, Brogo, Moruya, Bega, Bemboka and Towamba rivers, all of which flow east to the coast; and the Genoa and Snowy rivers that originate in New South Wales and flow into lower catchments in Victoria. The largest catchment in the Southern Rivers region is the Shoalhaven, covering 7300 km2. The Shoalhaven River rises in the highlands of the Southern Tablelands at an altitude of 864 m above sea level and is 327 km in length. The Mongarlowe River is a major tributary of the Shoalhaven River and flows from the steep mountains of the Budawang Range, joining the main trunk of the Shoalhaven River near Braidwood. The southern section of the Shoalhaven River flows northwards before it merges with the southern flowing Kangaroo River and then flows east. The Kangaroo River and some of its tributaries fall rapidly downstream through gorge country onto alluvial plains near Nowra. Downstream of the gorge country near the confluence of the Kangaroo River with the Shoalhaven River, the river enters Tallowa Dam, which supplies water to Sydney and the Shoalhaven region.

O. FLETcHER. (Graptolite Identifications by 11rs. K. Sherrard, ~r.Sc.) (4 Maps.) The initiation of the Snowy Mountaim Hydro-Electric Authority gave a decided impetus to geological research over an area of some 6,000 square mile3 in southern New South Wales. Following the Authority's request in 1949 for geologic investigation, officers of the Geological Survey of New South Wales have mapped more than 3,000 square miles of this country by detailed reconnaissance standard on a scale of 1 inch = 1 mile. During the course of these surveys an itensive search was made for fossil remains. The information embodied in this report was gained during several visits to the Snowy Mountains with Survey parties in the author's capacity as Honorary Palaeontologist to the Geological Survey of New South Wales. A good deal of the information is included in the Snowy Mountains Reports (unpublished) of the Depart­ ment of Mines. I am indebted to Mrs. Kathleen Sherrard for the g:t:,aptolite identifica­ tions.
