  • Water Quality Bulletin 2 March 2011
    D11/6241 Water Quality Bulletin 2 March 2011 Update on blackwater in the River Murray system The blackwater event in the River Murray, the Edward–Wakool, the Goulburn–Broken, Lower Darling, Murrumbidgee and Loddon rivers is continuing. The severity and extent of this event is due to the prolonged drought followed by widespread and persistent flooding, as a result there has been several sources of blackwater. Poor water quality from these floodplains continues to have a detrimental impact on the River Murray, however, the effect is no longer as pronounced as in previous weeks. Water quality information compiled by the Murray–Darling Freshwater Research Centre, (MDFRC) indicates that Dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels around Barmah-Millewa Forest remain stable at non critical levels. DO monitoring at Taylors Bridge Road, and in Barmah Lake, still exhibits DO concentrations at critical levels. This has been caused by a recent flood pulse through the Barmah- Millewa Forest. Downstream of Barmah in the River Murray between Echuca and Robinvale DO concentrations remain at critical levels. A slight recovery of DO concentrations has been observed between Robinvale and Mildura. The Goulburn River, Broken Creek and Gunbower Creek daily average DO concentrations have stabilised at non critical levels except at the monitoring site Condidorios which is continuing to record extremely low DO concentrations. Monitoring in the Coliban River, and Loddon River at Yando Road continue to record high DO concentrations at non critical levels. In the Edward River at Deniliquin, the DO concentrations have continued to increase to non critical levels. DO concentrations in the lower Darling River are stable at non critical levels, except at Wentworth the DO concentrations continue to be near critical levels.

    North Central chat | NOVEMBER 2018 1 NOVEMBER 2018 Keeping you up to date with all the Landcare and Waterwatch news A message from the Regional Landcare Coordinator News 2 Events 5 Hi everyone, Waterwatch update 7 I am thrilled to be back after a refreshing and enjoyable Funding News 10 extended break. I managed to squeeze in trips to WA, SA, New Zealand and Mallacoota, so it’s been an amazing three months from Western to Eastern Australia… and beyond! I wish to extend thanks to my wonderful CMA colleagues Cass, Laura, Darren and Britt for all their help in keeping the Chat, grants and other Landcare related activities rolling along smoothly while I was away. Congratulations to the 2018-19 Victorian Landcare Grant recipients , I look forward to being involved in your projects as they progress throughout the coming 12 months. It was certainly a challenging experience as an assessor this year with so many deserving projects unable to be funded. However, I am pleased we were able to support as many groups as we did with the available funds. Funding and the future of Landcare was a key topic of discussion during the 2018 National Landcare Conference in Brisbane which Darren and I attended, along with National Landcare Award nominees Ian Higgins and Tarrangower Cactus Control Group, in early October. https://www.nationallandcareconference.org.au/presentatio The conference showcased grassroots Landcare projects n-request/ from across the country, amidst keynote speakers discussing Over the coming month, Darren and I will be hosting feeding hungry soils, supporting meaningful partnerships.
