Faecal enterococci results and compliance to ACT Guidelines for Recreational Water Quality (2014)

Map of the boundary of the Ginini Flats Ramsar listed wetland. Ramsar listing is of international status and protection from the listing is recognised under ACT Nature Conservation Act and Federal EPBC Act.

Point data for ACT streamflow, stream level, water quality and rainfall data for streamflow gauges and rainfall gauges across the ACT. Water quality data is present for two streamflow gauge locations. Daily aggregated data is available in the table 'ACT streamflow and rainfall data - daily data'. Spatial information can be found in the dataset 'ACT Hydrological Sites'

ACT Nature Conservation Threatened Native Species List. Species list adheres to the Darwin Core Standard. A species is threatened if it is likely to become extinct in the foreseeable future. The Nature Conservation Act 2014 (ACT) establishes a formal process for the identification and protection of threatened species and ecological communities. Ngunnawal species names created and endorsed by the Winnagaay Ngunnawal Language Group.

AUSRIVAS (Australian River Assessment System) is a river condition monitoring program that uses the environmental sensitivity of aquatic macroinvertebrates to assess the condition of waterways. AUSRIVAS predicts the macroinvertebrate fauna expected to occur at a site with specific environmental characteristics, in the absence of environmental stress. The fauna observed (O) at a site can then be compared to fauna expected (E), with the deviation between the two providing an indication of biological condition. A site displaying no biological impairment should have an O/E taxa score close to one. The O/E taxa score will decrease as the macroinvertebrate assemblage and richness are adversely affected.
ACT Government maintains 13 AUSRIVAS monitoring locations across the ACT. Sampling is undertaken twice per year (spring and autumn). Site details are provided in another dataset. The O/E taxa score (Score) is provided in this dataset, along with the siteID, Site Name, Season in which the survey was undertaken, and the Year in which the survey was undertaken.

This group of layers provides information on select species or groups of plants species that are of conservation interest but are not listed as threatened under the ACT Nature Conservation Act or the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.

This table is the site location meta data for the ACT streamflow and rainfall data - daily data, and the ACT streamflow and rainfall data - point data datasets.
