Water Monitoring
GBRI5 Runoff to Reef catchment scale
monitoring
Alan Hooper
Wet Tropics Coast
• Sample near end of system
• Barron River at Myola • North Johnstone River at Tung Oil • South Johnstone River at upstream Mill • Tully River at Euramo
• Herbert River at Ingham sample by Terrain
• Monitoring for runoff to reef is generally at long term Gauging Stations
• Some new gauging stations have been installed for this project
• Local site is on the Tully River upstream of the coastal agricultural area
• Tully River at Tully Gorge Gauging Station in Queensland Parks and Wildlife Colours
• Gauging Stations used as discharge data is available at these sites
• Gauging stations have telemetry • Old – PSTN and Next G polled from
Brisbane • New – Next G and Satellite IP equipped
sites FTP data whenever there is a change in near real time
• Only local site next G IP is on South Johnstone River
• Equipment used is commercial off the shelf
• Statewide support by Hydrographic Support in Brisbane
• They provide the equipment and repair/maintain/update equipment
• Also adapt equipment to specific needs • All gauging stations to be updated to
Campbell CR1000 with Next G or Satellite IP over the next five years

Data Management
• Time series data stored on HYDSTRA – now owned by Kisters AG
• Results from Water Sample analysis currently stored on HYDSTRA as well as other departmental data bases
• Stores both unvalidated near real time telemetry data and validated data
• Stations polled by SODA - a Kisters product • IP sites FTP to HYDSTRA and HYdsupp
Stage Discharge ratings developed using conventional current meters, Teledyne RDI Work Horse 600Khz ADCPS
and Sontek M9 ADCP (pictured below)
