GEARY CHIEF ENGINEER PRINCIPAL ENGINEER I PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT RIVERS AND PORTS BRANCH I DECEMBER 1987 I Report No. PWD 87059 I ISBN 724029494 I I I I POBEWORD I The estuaries of NSW are an abundant source of renewable biological resources and non-renewable construction materials. Most major population centres are located on estuaries and while the waterways provide the main I outlet for water orientated recreation, they also cope with sewage, industrial effluent, urban silt and stormwater runoff, as well as I fertilizer and pesticide enriched runoff from agricultural lands. Estuaries are complex systems with hydrodynamic, sedimentary, chemical and biological processes Which react, often synergistically, to artificial disturbance. Community demand for estuarine resources requires that I priority be placed on understanding estuarine processes so that future management will be capable of maximising the benefits of estuaries without I jeopardising their ecological viability. The Hawkesbury River is the longest estuary in NSW and one of the most heav ily exploited. The Hawkesbury Valley holds all of Sydney's gravel I resources and 80t of construction and industrial sand, about 2800 hectares of very productive agricultural land is irrigated from the tidal waterway, it is the State's third largest oyster producer, the waterway is a major tour ist attraction and it' provides the only water-based recreation I convenient to the expanding western area of Sydney. It also sustains extensive wetlands which provide important wildlife habitats. I Problems are already evident with recurring poor water quality, widespread river bank erosion , severe flooding and competing demands for waterway development. Despite these signs of stress, demand on the waterway is I escalating; as much as 400 million cubic metres of sand and gravel reserves are needed to satisfy the metropolitan demand over the next 50 years, the population of the Hawkesbury/Nepean catchment is expected to double to 1.2 million by the year 2020. The latter will strain the nutrient assimilation I ,and dispersion capability of the estuary as well as intensify competing demands for recreation and habitat conservation. I 'Models of the hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes of the Hawkesbury River are needed so that the individual and cumulative impact of developnent proposals can be predicted and future developnent planned to I avoid adverse effects. The Department has prepared a reference set of reports covering the hydraulic and sediment processes data currently available on the Hawkesbury River. This document is one of the volumes in that set which collectively prov ide a foundation for future model I studies. Collation of this data set is merely the first step in what will be a long I endeavour if the Hawkesbury River is to be fully understood and appreciated and the amenity and resources of this magnificent waterway are to be I sustained for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations.

Manual reading of tide boards located near the tidal limit of the Hawkesbury River, Colo River, MacDonald River and Mangrove Creek were taken to augment data collected on automatic tide recorders installed for several months. The objective of all these tidal measurements was I the preparation of comprehensive tidal gradients for the river. The manual water level readings carried out at 6 tide board I locations measured the following tidal ranges: I Location Tidal Range (m) Ebb Flood I 1st 2nd TB1 Agnes Banks 0.06 0.08 0.09 I TB2 North Richmond 0.29 0.33 0.33 TB3 Upper Colo (upstream) 0.01 0.03 0.03 TB4 Upper Colo (downstream) 0.98 1.09 1.09 -I TB5 MacDonald River 0.35 0.44 0.45 TB6 Mangrove Creek 0.93 1.04 1.04 I Automatic recorders at thirteen other locations in the river (including the Fort Denison gauge) recorded the following tidal I ranges: Type of Recorder Location Tidal Range (m) ·1 (T = Tide, F = Flood)- Ebb Flood I Fort Denison 1.42 1.67 1.56 T Fitness Camp 1.42 1.67 1.53 T Bobbin Head 1.48 1.75 1.67 I T Peats Ferry 1.48 1.71 1.59 T Mooney Mooney 1.52 1.66 1.65 T Lower Mangrove 1.56 1.75 1.70 I T Spencer 1.52 1.74 1.63 T Central MacDonald 1.19 1.31 1.31 T Colo 1.34 1.47 1.44 I T Windsor 1.07 1.15 1.13 T North Richmond 0.26 0.28 0.28 F Webbs Creek 1.61 1.80 1.73 I F Freemans Reach 0.26 0.30 0.30 it T = Temporary tide recorders used to measure river tides for I several months.

Information Line: 1300 776 069 Warnings: Round-up Bioactive Herbicide Do not contaminate dams, rivers or streams with the product or used container. When controlling weeds in aquatic situations refer to label directions to minimise the entry of spray into the water. Lynx WG DO NOT use chlorine bleach with ammonia. All traces of liquid fertilizer containing ammonia, ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulphate must be rinsed with water from the mixing and application equipment before adding chlorine bleach solution. Failure to do so will release a gas with a musty chlorine odour which can cause eye, nose, throat and lung irritation. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. A nil withholding period is applicable for LYNX WG Herbicide. It is recommended, however, not to graze treated areas for 3 days to ensure product efficacy.

  • NSW Tides 2019 – 2020
    NSW Tides 2019–2020 Tidal predictions for Sydney Harbour with moon phases July 2019 – June 2020 Tidal predictions are calculated by the Tidal Unit, Bureau of Meteorology from daily tide recordings made at Fort Denison in Sydney Harbour. Tide heights refer to zero on the Fort Denison Tide Gauge, being approximately the level of the Lowest Astronomical Tide. Times are in local standard time (UTC +10:00) or daylight savings time (UTC +11:00) when in effect. Tide heights are quoted in metres. Tide heights of 1.7 metres or more, and 0.3 metres or less, are highlighted for trip planning and risk awareness. Users of these tables should be aware that the heights shown in this publication are predictions for average meteorological conditions only and that the actual water level height may vary due to meteorological conditions (including barometric pressure, wind effect and storm surges) and seasonal variations. Copyright in the Tidal Predictions is owned by the Commonwealth of Australia represented by the Bureau of Meteorology.
