Wetlands monitored in parameters Board Narrung, Teringie, Waltowa, Dunn‘s (Jennie‘s the river channel below Lock 1 to Wellington include Lagoon, Morgans Lagoon, Sugarshack wetland, quarterly Sweeney’s Reedy Creek wetland, Paiwalla, and Rocky Gully wetland. At these wetlands the following parameters are monitored with assistance from community and landholders: water quality and level, groundwater quality and level, photopoints, vegetation, fish, frogs and birds. Monitoring of each parameter does not necessarily occur at each site (depends on site characteristics). Morella release via Salt Creek (DWLBC 2009): The following monitoring activities will be undertaken for the duration of the release. Aquatic habitat and biota monitoring, with quarterly waterbird monitoring. Quarterly DFW Gauging of Morella Basin water levels, temperature and EC (continuous monitoring). Daily South Eastern Water Conservation and Drainage Board Gauging of release volumes, temperature and EC through Morella Regulator (continuous monitoring). Continuous South Eastern Water Conservation and Drainage Board Monitoring of water quality parameters at Morella Basin, Salt Creek and in the mixing zone of the release in the Pre, during and DFW Coorong. post release Nutrient load (Total N and P) monitoring in conjunction with the EPA for the 09/10 release.
