Undertake detailed analysis, interpretation and reporting of the Montagu, Duck
and Inglis/Flowerdale catchments to determine the current status of
physico-chemical water quality, including nutrient export coefficients for the
catchments.
The Department is currently undertaking assessments of water quality as part of
the State of Rivers program for Tasmanian priority river systems. The Montagu,
Duck and Inglis/Flowerdale Rivers require reporting of current water quality
status in each catchment by the analysis, interpretation of historic and
current data collected by DPIWE over a three year period. The combined results
for each catchment will constitute a component of the final "State of Rivers"
report for each catchment.
