Late dry season snapshot measurements were undertaken on the Roper River to establish
water quality and quantity conditions at the end of the dry season when river flows are at their
annual minimum.
Snapshot measurements are used to:
1. Refine and calibrate hydrological models used to assess resource availability and
impact of extraction allocations.
2. Verify model predictions at key river locations used for announced allocations on 1st
May each year.
3. Refine the location of aquifer recharge/discharge zones along the river, and
4. Provide a dataset of comparable flow and water quality measurements at identical
periods in the annual water cycle.,
