Prelimmary analysis of the information will soon commence and as a result a I further culling of the database is likely prior to the detailed techmcal appraIsal.
,I However, It is important that all sources of relevant information now be Ident1fied and any gaps In the database, presented in tills report, be f11led immedIately.

Recommends completIon of the unfimshed portIon of the scheme I recommended by the 1898 Comnnttee, enta,iling 210ft of northern breakwater, 7150ft of barner bank and southern wall and 4000ft of southern breakwater. Work on the Entrance Improvements had stopped III 1904 due to shortage of I funds. The southern breakwater had not been commenced. I 7 I I I
I The proposed works would increase the Bar depths from the present 6 to 9ft below ISLW, to a depth of 12ft. Accretion on the Bar, rn the northern channel and on the crossrng mSlde the Entrance IS due to transport of sand from the I south entenng the River on flood tIde; which cannot be completely removed by the ebb current along the northern wall. Constant dredgmg IS reqUlred just to maintam the existing conrutlons. W1ule the northern breakwater had fixed I the channel, It had increased the danger to navlgatlOn. The southern training wall and breakwater should proceed at once to prevent supply of sand from the I south and to allow vessels to cross the Bar more frequently. NSW Legtslatlve CouncIl Parhamentary Standing Commlttee on PublIc Works, I 1898, Report together with Mznutes 0/ Evidence, Appendices and Plan relating to the Proposed Harbour Works, at Mannzng River. I The report recommends Entrance works and has minutes of eVldence, appendicies and a plan of works attached. Dredging of the RIver commenced in 1882. The COmmlttee considered a modified scheme to the one I recommended m the Coode Report, although work had already commenced on the north trammg wall m 1894. The COmmlttee recommended that the southern works (breakwater) commence immed1ately, the northern wall be I reduced m height and length than previously proposed and the southern wall be made continuous. The purpose of the works were, to remove the Bar by provlrung a permanently deep channel at the entrance, to scour sand at the I Narrows and to protect the south bank at the potential breakthrough point.

I I 4S I I I I TIDAL GAUGING INFORMATION I There IS only a litmted amount of data on tidal velocities in the Manrung River. The first record of drrecuon and veioclues of tidal currents appears on a plan of Harrington Entrance surveyed by Mr H. R. Carlton in about 1888. It IS not known I what methods were used to calculate these velociues.
The first major current metering exerCIse took place on 5th October, 1977. I Velociues were measured at four locations on the River and seven tideboards were installed. Suspended sediment samples were collected. The raw data IS stored at I MHL in FIle No. 1016. A second current metering exerCIse was undertaken on 14th October and 11 th November, 1981. In October current velociues were measured at four locauons in I the lower reaches of the RIver, along with temperarure/salInIty profiles and suspended sedIment samples. In November, velOCIties, temperarure/salinity profIles I and suspended sedIment were measured at five locations In the upper reaches. The raw data IS stored at MHL In FIle No. 1123 and 1125. A report of this double I current metering was pubhshed by MHL In Report No. 380. On 11 th March, 1986 a JOInt exercise was undertaken With the State Pollution Control COmmISSIOn on which a limited amount of current metermg and I temperarure/salinity profiling was carried out. The raw data IS stored at MHL In File No. 1167. The results of thIs exerCIse were published by MHL ill Report No. 458.
I There are some tidal gradIents available from the following years: I YEAR SURVEYOR 1915 H. F. Searl I 1919 W.Mahoney 1927 G. Brooks 1957 I 1964 1977* MHL I 1981* MHL * Full set of udal gradients not avaIlable but I instantaneous gradIents could be calculated. I I I 46 I I I I WATER QUALITY DATA An extensIve collection of water quahty data was undertaken by the SPCC from I June 1984 to March 1986. The results were published by the SPCC ill therr Northern RIvers Study No.7.
I Some aspects of water quality were also measured in conjunctlon Wlth the current metenng ill 1977, 1981 and 1986. This consisted of suspended sediment sampling I and temperattrre/salimty profthng. On the 23rd October and 2nd December, 1980 some temperattrre/saliruty profilmg was carned out by MIll.. from the Entrance to Wingham. The results are stored in I File No. 1106.
