Water Quality of the Pipers River
Water Quality of the Pipers River A Report Forming Part of the Requirements for State of Rivers Reporting Christopher Bobbi Land and Water Assessment Branch DPIWE. Report Series WRA 99/19 December, 1999. Executive Summary The Pipers River catchment is an area extensively used for agriculture and forestry. The catchment covers approximately 298 km2 and drains northward into Bass Strait through Weymouth. This report presents and discusses the results of a 1yr study of water quality in the catchment that was undertaken in 1998 as part of a program of ‘State of Rivers’ studies in the north-east of Tasmania. The results should also be examined in the light of other studies into hydrology, stream condition and aquatic ecology which were also undertaken concurrently and which are reported separately. Some of the major findings of this study are: ⇒ Water temperature shows a distinctive seasonal change, with minimum temperatures of 5 oC occurring during July and maximum temperatures of up to 25 oC occurring during late January. Large short-term changes can occur due to passage of cold fronts across the catchment. ⇒ Conductivity, which is an indicator of salt concentrations, tends to be highest during low summer flows but drops dramatically during and following any significant rainfall and is generally much lower during winter and spring. The ions contributing most to surface water salinity are chloride and sodium. ⇒ Turbidity levels were variable at sites where monitoring was undertaken, with clearest water occurring during the period January to May, when flows were lowest. During the high flows of winter, turbidity at some sites was significantly higher demonstrating the impact of runoff and erosion on water quality. -

A Review of Geoconservation Values
Geoconservation Values of the TWWHA and Adjacent Areas 3.0 GEOCONSERVATION AND GEOHERITAGE VALUES OF THE TWWHA AND ADJACENT AREAS 3.1 Introduction This section provides an assessment of the geoconservation (geoheritage) values of the TWWHA, with particular emphasis on the identification of geoconservation values of World Heritage significance. This assessment is based on: • a review (Section 2.3.2) of the geoconservation values cited in the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989); • a review of relevant new scientific data that has become available since 1989 (Section 2.4); and: • the use of contemporary procedures for rigorous justification of geoconservation significance (see Section 2.2) in terms of the updated World Heritage Criteria (UNESCO 1999; see this report Section 2.3.3). In general, this review indicates that the major geoconservation World Heritage values of the TWWHA identified in 1989 are robust and remain valid. However, only a handful of individual sites or features in the TWWHA are considered to have World Heritage value in their own right, as physical features considered in isolation (eg, Exit Cave). In general it is the diversity, extent and inter-relationships between numerous features, sites, areas or processes that gives World Heritage significance to certain geoheritage “themes” in the TWWHA (eg, the "Ongoing Natural Geomorphic and Soil Process Systems" and “Late Cainozoic "Ice Ages" and Climate Change Record” themes). This "wholistic" principle under-pinned the 1989 TWWHA nomination (DASETT 1989, p. 27; see this report Section 2.3.2), and is strongly supported by the present review (see discussion and justification of this principle in Section 2.2). -
