Murray-Marrinup Brook

Basin : Murray River

Catchment : Murray - Serpentine rivers

The condition of the Murray-Marrinup Brook site (MR384MURR1), on the Murray River, just downstream of the confluence with Marrinup Brook, was assessed between 13 and 14 December 2017, over a 100-m length of stream.

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 (dissolved oxygen, temperature, electrical conductivity, and pH logged over 24h and colour, alkalinity, turbidity and nutrients), fringing vegetation, channel morphology, erosion, connectivity, local land use and flow.
