In this study surface water monitoring was undertaken at a number of locations at the East Trinity wetland site in August 2013 to gain an understanding of the flux of constituents from the drainage system. The monitoring period was set to co-inside with the extreme low-tide cycle to allow the best opportunity to measure flux.
Surface water monitoring was undertaken at a number of locations at the East Trinity site on the 20th and 21st August 2013 to gain an understanding of the flux of constituents from the drainage system. The monitoring period was set to co-inside with the extreme low-tide cycle to allow the best opportunity to measure flux from the drainage systems and to access the low-lying areas of the site. At Firewood Creek surface water samples were collected from eight sites at 30 minute intervals over up to a 5 hour period during the flow out of the tide. A single grab sample was taken at close to the bottom of the tide at two additional sites in Firewood Creek (i.e. oxbow and d8 FW). A boat was used to collect water quality samples from two depths (10 cm and 100 cm) at various locations along Magazine Creek (MC1-6).
