Carey Brook - Staircase Road
Basin : Donnelly River
Catchment : Donnelly River
The condition of the Carey Brook - Staircase Road (site code: DR48CARE1), in the lower catchment of Carey Brook, was assessed between 8 and 9 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 (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.
