MHL2222 - i

Foreword Manly Hydraulics Laboratory (MHL) is a business group within NSW Public Works, a division of the Department of Finance and Services. The NSW water quality database has been developed by MHL to support a number of programs associated with coastal, floodplain and estuary management for the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), NSW Office of Water (NOW) and the Lake Illawarra Authority (LIA).

This summary presents the results of water quality measurements captured by the automatic recording stations along the coastal estuaries and rivers of New South Wales, from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013, and catalogues data collected in NSW by Manly Hydraulics Laboratory.

This summary has been prepared to provide ready access to MHL’s water quality database and the data analysis capabilities at the Laboratory.

1. Water Quality Monitoring Programs This report presents a summary of the water quality data currently collected by Manly Hydraulics Laboratory. The network of recorders and the associated analysis routines enable MHL to provide an efficient service in accessing water quality data. As well as real time water quality information at 24 stations in NSW, an historical database of water quality data can be made available on request (refer Appendix A).

The present program is based on a network of automatic recording stations installed at various estuaries (see Station Location Maps). This network consists of 24 permanent stations funded by OEH, NOW and LIA (see Table 1). One salinity buoy at Fullerton Cove was installed on 21/06/2013, so data will be included in the next annual report. Three water quality stations at Bega, Colo Junction and Wisemans Ferry Wharf were decommissioned on 21/05/2013, 05/07/2013 and 19/07/2013 respectively. The logging systems consist of Campbells Scientific CR800 data loggers which record water quality information every 15 minutes. Data is transmitted via IP telemetry to the database every six hours.

The network features three distinctive water quality probes for obtaining temperature and conductivity readings:

· EC1500: designed for long-term deployment at unattended monitoring stations. The sensor head is epoxy encapsulated and has a large toroid to allow the flow of water through it. The sensor will measure conductivity from zero to full scale with the resolution of EC ± 1% at full scale and temperature ± 0.2°C.

· AquiStar CT2X: a submersible sensor with built-in datalogging. The CT2X incorporates 4-pole electrode cell measurement technology with a resolution of EC ± 1 microsiemen/cm and temperature ± 0.01°C

· YSI Sonde 6820 V2: a multi-parameter probe with a resolution of EC ± 1 microsiemen/cm and temperature ± 0.01°C.

In 2010 NOW requested that logger programs at all NOW-funded sites be modified to output salinity (Practical Salinity Units (psu)) and specific conductivity at 25°C (microseimens/cm) in addition to the standard outputs of water level, temperature and conductivity. This request is intended to make the real-time data more usable by the diverse range of end users.

Temperature and conductivity values are obtained directly from the instrumentation. Specific conductivity at 25°C is calculated using the equation:

Specific Conductivity [µs/cm] = C / (1+0.0198933 * (T-25))

Salinity is calculated using the UNESCO formula (seawater salinity calculation) and the full equation can be found in:

MHL2222 - 3

UNESCO Technical Papers in Marine Science, #36 (1981a) ‘The Practical Salinity Scale 1978 and the International Equation of State of Seawater 1980’, UNESCO Division of Marine Sciences (Paris), 25pp.

Water quality data is transferred to the NSW Data Collection Warehouse, Data Centre 1 at Ultimo and to MHL’s data server using a variety of telemetry techniques including internet protocol (IP), landline telephone and cellular networks. The incoming raw data is then immediately available to external users to view via the web.

The data is stored in a database and subjected to a quality assurance process which involves several control steps to ensure data quality is maintained. Computer programs are used to further format and analyse data.

The database is backed up daily and data archived to magnetic tape as a security measure at regular intervals. A complete mirrored backup database is also kept at Data Centre 1.

MHL2222 - 4

2. How to Use this Report This report aims to streamline access to the Laboratory’s services and to the water quality database.

The NSW coastline has been divided into geographic regions based on river systems. Location maps display the station locations and the annual plots confirm the availability and suitability of data for the particular period of interest. The historical database of water quality data can be made available on request (refer Appendix A).

Once a choice has been made of the period for which information is required, data and services can be obtained in a variety of formats, according to their intended use.

MHL2222 - 5

3. How to Access the Data The Laboratory provides a full on-line data access service via the Internet for its clients, and a restricted service for the general public at http://mhl.nsw.gov.au/

Typically the last seven days of data are available on-line in a non-quality controlled form to aid the fastest possible access to data records. The on-line service for clients can provide access to all data catalogued in Appendix A.

Quality controlled data may be ordered via the MHL web page (http://mhl.nsw.gov.au/ ), by emailing [email protected], or via customised decision support tools that can be provided upon request.

The MHL website has been updated in association with an updated database and data warehouse capability via Data Centre 1. The new website was launched in March 2012 and includes updated functionality, data access and availability of water level time-series plots.

4. Significant Events and Developments During the reporting period flooding, as described by the Bureau of Meteorology’s NSW flood classification scale, occurred as listed in Table 2. Floods introduce significant freshwater inflows which impact on electrical conductivity and temperature, as shown in the data summaries.

Bega River Minor to moderate March 2012 From May to August 2013 longitudinal water quality profiling was undertaken on the Richmond, Clarence, Macleay, Manning, Paterson, Hunter, Hawkesbury, Shoalhaven and Bega rivers, as part of the NOW monitoring program.

In June 2013 a new salinity buoy was commissioned at Fullerton Cove on the Hunter River at the request of NOW. Three water quality stations at Bega, Colo Junction and Wisemans Ferry Wharf were decommissioned on 21/05/2013, 05/07/2013 and 19/07/2013 respectively at the request of NOW.

Mylneford and Wingham were damaged by extensive flooding in early 2013. Wingham will be repaired following Council repair works at the site. The Mylneford station will be decommissioned.

Two new stations will be installed in the Hunter region during this financial year.
