The stream gauges have relatively few missing records, particularly the newer northern gauges. The period of record is relatively short for three of the gauges, which means they may not represent well the hydrological variability of the Gloucester river basin. Having one reliable older gauge in the northern subregion helps to address the relative short time period of the other gauged data. There is a lack of long-term consistent monitoring of electrical conductivity (EC) and pH for the Gloucester river basin. As a result, the capacity to fully understand what baseline water quality should be for this area is limited.
