Record Brook - Confluence with Donnelly

Basin : Donnelly River

Catchment : Donnelly River

The condition of the Record Brook - Confluence with Donnelly (site code: DR183RECO1), in the lower catchment of  the Record Brook, was assessed between 24 and 25 October 2016 and on the 7  February 2017, over a 100-m length of stream. At this time no previous assessments of river ecology had been reported.

The assessment was conducted using standard methods from the South West Index of River Condition. Measures chosen for this assessment included fish and crayfish, aquatic habitat, water quality (spot measurements of dissolved oxygen, temperature, electrical conductivity, and pH), fringing vegetation, channel morphology, erosion, connectivity, local land use and flow.

The site was dry in February 2017, fish and crayfish and water quality could not be assessed.
