Author: Wetlands Research and Management P/L (Dr A. Storey) Date: March 2006 As a part of a broader study of off-river water body ecology, a stratified sampling regime was established to investigate temporal and spatial variation in oxbow limnology and dissolved metal concentrations. Sampling was conducted at nine oxbows - each encompassed within one of three exposure levels (exposed, unimpacted control and impacted blocked valley lake). Sampling of oxbows was undertaken during both the wet and dry seasons 2005, and considered changes in water quality parameter profiles at different depths within the water column. |
