Abstract

Five springs in the Darwin region were investigated for potential pesticide, herbicide and nutrient contamination of groundwater discharge. Passive samplers were deployed in the springs from May to June 2014 to detect trace levels of chemicals and grab samples were collected monthly between May and October for general water quality and nutrient analysis. Some of the springs and associated monsoon forest patches in the Darwin rural area are highly valued by the public as recreation areas and include the popular Howard Springs, Berry Springs and Holmes Jungle nature reserves.,
