Warra Tall Eucalypt Site, Hydrology Of Small Catchments and Hydrological Effects of Forest Operations
This data set contains information on hydrology of small catchments at Warra Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Site also referred to as the Warra Tall Eucalypt site, Tasmania. Data on stream flow daily amounts and averages from three sites, Warra, Swanson and King Creek.

- Purpose
- A major hydrology and water quality program has been established at the Warra Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Site. Weirs have been constructed on three streams, Warra Creek, Swanson Creek and King Creek, with a further 13 streams within the Warra Site sampled fortnightly. The three objectives of the study are to: characterise the variability of water quality in a pristine stream, determine the impact of logging on stream hydrology and obtain an overview of the water quality within the Warra LTER area. Warra Creek, with a catchment of 442 ha, is to be retained as a pristine (control) catchment. Both Swanson Creek (84 ha) and King Creek (48 ha) catchments have been partially logged and further logging is planned. Initial data on water quality and quantity have now been analysed. The three steams with weirs carry water that is coloured with organic matter. Although base flow turbidity for Warra Creek is low (<1 ntu), average turbidity is high at 11.5 ntu. Storm events in the area are generally associated with cold changes, resulting in drops in stream water temperature. Storm profiles are characterised by a rapid increase in stream flow followed by a gradual return to base levels. Turbidity is highest during initial storm flow, with a seasonal difference occurring in flow and turbidity. Streams in the Warra LTER site vary in their catchment geology and water chemistry. Work is under way to characterise the water colour and to determine the chemistry of the water.
