1. Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Aquatic Ecosystem and Biodiversity Report Card
Assess and rate the ecological condition of creeks and rivers across Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges
Biological condition rated on a range of indicators:
Water quality (e.g. DO, P, N, TN salinity, turbidity, temperature),
Biodiversity fish, macroinvertebrates
Aquatic and riparian vegetation
Instream benthic habitat
Community facing document
5 year cycle (costs and time)
Consists of multiple regional and project-specific projects
e.g. AECR (EPA), fish, e-flows
Explain condition: start with left graph limited disturbance = condition is intact (excellent). Then as disturbance increases condition decreases
