2.1.4 Surface water hydrology and water quality

Summary

The existing streamflow gauging station data for the Richmond river basin of the Clarence-Moreton bioregion was analysed to assess its suitability for the surface water modelling that will be carried out for this part of the bioregion. There are 12 gauging stations with more than ten years reliable daily streamflow data between 1980 and 2012. The water quality aspects are discussed in companion product 1.5 for the Clarence-Moreton bioregion (McJannet et al., 2015). Also note that the analysis of surface water quality in order to determine surface water – groundwater interaction is described in Section 2.1.5.
