About the report

Five major floods occurred in Magela Creek during the 1978-79 tropical wet season and floodwaters were sampled for conductivity, suspended solids and the trace metals, iron, manganese, cadmium, copper, lead and zinc. All concentrations were found to be very low, as were the denudation rates for trace metals and suspended materials. These results are as expected, since the catchment is highly weathered and is relatively undisturbed by man. The variations in conductivity, suspended solids and trace metal concentrations during individual flood events are also discussed.
