Abstract:
The objective of this report is to present the results of the River Water Quality Classification for the three year period 1988-90. Classification is based on the NWC system in which key determinands are tested against target criteria. In addition, as a result of inconsistences in the classification program, there were the following ammendments to the method used in 1989: 1) Suspended solids was tested as a mean not as a median; 2) Results archived as being "greater thans" were taken at actual value and included in assessments; 3) Temperature criteria for Class 2 was corrected from 21.5 degrees C to 28 degrees C. These changes mean that direct comparisions with previous classifications should be treated with caution.
