Soil/landscape assessment and monitoring design for WTMIP ‘Catchment Repair and Treatment Systems Design Phase’ (Old ID 24976)

Role

Chief Investigator

Description

This project contributes to the Wet Tropics Major Integrated Project (WTMIP) in the Johnstone and Tully catchments. The ‘Catchment repair and treatment systems’ activity area of the WTMIP aims to reduce nitrogen loads in runoff by installing and restoring wetlands and installing ‘denitrification bioreactors’. As part of the design phase of that activity we will assess soil and landscape features at the proposed sites and design the monitoring program to assess their effectiveness. This assessment and monitoring design will be done in collaboration with Australian Wetland Consulting and Alluvium, who will design the installations themselves.
