Description
This is a non-funded project done in collaboration with QLD DETSI, DPI and Terrain NRM to examine the hydrology and water quality behaviour of a natural wetland in tropical Far North Queensland. We will use tracers and extensive field monitoring to determine the water budget, residence time and dominant flow pathways of water through the wetland. We will also calculate nutrient/carbon/pesticide/herbicide load reductions from this natural wetland. These aims are achieved via multi-approach field data collection that includes water and soil sampling for nutrients, pesticides/herbicides, carbon and eDNA. This project represents a crucial collaboration between Queensland Government (DETSI) and important NRM group in our region and has the potential to secure future funding from the Federal Government.
