  • Field River and Glenthorne Farm Ground to Forage for Food
    YELLOW-RUMPED THORNBILL The Yellow-rumped Thornbill is a small insect eating bird which ocassionally eats seeds. It associates in small flocks, often flying from small shrubs down onto the Field River and Glenthorne Farm ground to forage for food. When disturbed, these birds alight back into the shrubs, revealing their bright yellow rumps. Seen in the open fields along the Field River, these birds will adapt to living close to suburbs provided adequate open space is Bird List preserved for them. They live in woodlands but can happily survive around mown The local open space of the southern suburbs is an important corridor linking the Mount Lofty Ranges to the sea. fields if sufficient native habitat remains.

  • Aquatic Ecosystem Condition Reports
    Water quality Information Sheet Aquatic ecosystem condition reports 2011 panel assessment of creeks and rivers in the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges NRM region Issued September 2012 EPA984/12: This information sheet describes the outcome of the panel assessment of creeks and rivers in the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges, NRM region based on monitoring data collected in 2011. Introduction The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) coordinates a monitoring, evaluation and reporting (MER) program on the aquatic ecosystem condition of South Australian creeks and rivers. This MER program is designed to meet several objectives: • Providing a statewide monitoring framework for creeks and rivers that revolves through the NRM regions with sufficient frequency to allow for State of the Environment Reporting purposes. • Describing aquatic ecosystem condition for broad general public understanding. • Identifying the key pressures and management responses to those pressures. • Providing a useful reporting format that can support environmental decision making within government, community and industry. This information sheet provides a summary of the scientific work used in assessing monitoring data from creeks and rivers. Aquatic ecosystem science is not always rigid and precise; it is often open to different interpretations in several respects. Therefore, the EPA has decided that the best way to assess the condition of streams is through an expert panel deliberation that uses a consistent descriptive modelling approach. The panel members comprised an environmental consultant, a biologist from the biomonitoring team at the Australian Water Quality Centre (AWQC), and two biologists from the EPA (the authors of this assessment). All have at least 10 years experience in monitoring and assessing a range of streams across South Australia.

Numerous basin aquifers in arid and semi-arid data indicate that not only the Quaternary aquifers but also regions of the world derive a significant portion of their the deeper Tertiary aquifers are recharged through MFR and recharge from adjacent mountains. Such recharge can ef- not MBR. It is expected that this finding will have a signif- fectively occur through either stream infiltration in the icant impact on the management of water resources in the mountain-front zone (mountain-front recharge, MFR) or sub- region.
