Summary
The Sustainable Rivers Audit (SRA) is a program to systematically assess the river health across the Murray-Darling Basin by collecting information in a consistent way across a range of indicators.
Macroinvertebrates and Fish are two themes used in the river health assessments.
There are three tasks for this project:
- Review QA/QC procedures undertaken by field sampling teams during SRA macroinvertebrate and fish sampling.
- Review QA/QC procedures undertaken during laboratory sample processing, data entry and data submission during SRA macroinvertebrate and fish sampling.
- Make general recommendations on QA/QC procedures employed by sampling teams. Make recommendations on quality objectives as well as processes that would allow the QA Working Group to check such objectives are met.
