Chapman Brook - Warner Glen Road
Basin : Blackwood River
Catchment : Lower Blackwood River
The condition of the Chapman Brook - Warner Glen Road site (site code: CHAPX1), in the lower catchment of the Chapman Brook, was assessed between 23 and 24 October 2012, 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. A water quality sample was also taken on 18 June 2012. The site was visited in February 2013 but could not be sampled as it was only a series of small disconnected pools.
