The objectives most relevant to Water Division's regional water quality monitoring prograrn.'Tle are: a.

TO PROVIDE DATI'. which ~1ill assist. the supervising scientist on matters including ecosystem degradation, sensitive habitats, physical-chemcial-biological processes, toxic levels, etc. c. To quantify the MAJOR CHANGES T_li.KING PLACE BETI'IEEN THE ~iET AND DRY SEASONS . d. Development of understanding of TRANSPORTATION PROCESSES AND FATE OF CONTANINANTS likely to be released to the system from minlng operations~ As the monitoring network tv as developed and monitoring proceeded the major objectives were extended and may be sun'Tlarised as: To provide baseline data and to monitor the quality of any possible conta'Tlinant discharges in the region This is a modification of objective (a) but objectives (b) and (c) may be met by information derived from this data. Objective (d) is proceeding with major work being carried out in the hydrologic ?rogra~"e.
