Wellesley River - Devlin Road
Basin : Collie River
Catchment : Collie River
The condition of the Wellesley River - Devlin Road site (site code: WELL-01), in the lower catchment of the Wellesley River, was assessed between 22 and 23 January 2009, 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, macroinvertebrates, aquatic habitat, water quality (dissolved oxygen and temperature logged over 24h, and electrical conductivity, pH, colour, alkalinity, turbidity and nutrients), fringing vegetation, channel morphology, erosion, connectivity, local land use and flow.
