The potential of field turbidity measurements for the computation of total phosphorus and suspended solids loads
Article Abstract:
Turbidity can be effectively used as a surrogate measure of total phosphorus and suspended solids concentration in streams. Data collected from a 5000 square km catchment of the Latrobe River in Gippsland reveals the utility of the turbidity parameter in promoting the continuous measurement of containment loads. Field turbidity measurements largely overcome the drawbacks of the conventional common flow based method. However, attitudinal changes must precede the induction of site specific estimations as a routine feature of monitoring containment loads.

Bathymetric and core analysis of the Latrobe River delta to assist in catchment management
Article Abstract:
Two bathymetric surveys conducted on the Latrobe River delta in 1879 and 1992 were analyzed and the information gathered were utilized in the measurement of net deposition depth and volume between the two periods. In addition, a pollen analysis was used to interpret land use changes and to estimate deposition depth. Findings suggest the occurrence of erosion and deposition in the Latrobe River delta.

Application of the Australian river bioassessment system (AUSRIVAS) in the Brantas River, East Java, Indonesia
Article Abstract:
Results show that the Australian River Assessment System (AUSRIVAS) can be used successfully for managing Indonesia's Brantas River in East Java, indicating it would be a viable component for the nation's Clean River Program. Suggestions for implementation include adequate communication of the system's benefits to resource managers and appropriate government agencies.
