Brief description
All available ambient data from water quality monitoring in drainage basins by the Queensland Department of Science Information Technology Innovation and the Arts. Data covers coastal and estuarine waters in central and northern Queensland.Lineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeededField maps for the water quality monitoring program were used as guides to digitise each water quality monitoring location. Attributes such as date, time, depth below the water surface, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and temperature are both recorded manually by the field staff and captured by data logger. A range of internal quality assurance procedures cover sample collection, sample preservation, sample storage through to laboratory analysis with electronic transmission of laboratory results to the Queensland Waterways Database with manual validation checks of the data. The majority of laboratory analyses are conducted by the Queensland Health Scientific Services, with the laboratory analysis of chlorophyll-a being conducted in-house
