The aim of this report is to summarise the water quality data collected under four different
monitoring programs that have been conducted within the Roper river catchment between 2012
and 2016. A detailed description of the programs is provided in section 3.
In particular, the report aims to explore
1. Longitudinal (downstream) changes in dry season water quality
2. Temporal changes in dry season water quality between the early to late dry season
3. Inter-annual differences in dry season water quality
4. Spatial and temporal variations in diurnal patterns of water quality over the dry season
5. Relationship of water quality and discharge over one wet season,
