Abstract:

Information on platypus populations occurring along streams in the Melbourne region was collected by mark- release studies in the period I989-I996. In all, 256 records of animals were obtained along waterways in the Yarra River, Maribyrnong River and Dandenong Creek catchments. Ornilhorhynchus anatinus were captured at approximately one-quarter of the sites sampled by fyke nets, with animals encountered to within about 15 km of inner Melbourne. Evidence of reproduction was obtained along seven waterways in the Yarra River catchment (Badger Creek, Watts River/Graceburn Creek, Olinda Creek, Mullum Mullum Creek, Diamond Creek, Plenty River/Jacks Creek and the Yarra River itself) as well as Monbulk Creek in the Oandenong Creek catchment. The earliest date on which a juvenile was captured at any site was 24 February. Across populations, sex ratio (expressed as the number of adult or subadult females per adult male) tended to be positively correlated with population density. In all seasons, nearly all animals were found to be in moderate to good physical condition (i.e. tail fat index = 2 or 3). The three thinnest individuals encountered in this study were adult females captured in March, at least two of which were lactating. Along the Watts River and Mullum Mullum Creek, six individuals (comprising about 10% of animals captured) had one or more pieces of plastic or rubber litter caught around their neck or thorax.

Abstract:

Studies on the floristics and phenology of macroalgal communities in the upper Yarra and Watts River catchments have shown that the urbanized reaches of the Yarra River near Warburton are relatively species-rich and that they include nearly all macroalgal taxa found in protected catchments upstream. The lower of three river sites near Warburton, however, includes fewer species and is seasonally dominated by Vaucheria bursata, a saproxenous alga. The macroalgal communities on solid rock are distinct from those on loose rock subject to flood movement, and they include more taxa with basally attached filaments. A nearby enriched tributary, McMahons Creek, is dominated by a Spirogyroideae species and is species-poor. Species richness is also low on small-weirs and natural stream habitats in protected upstream catchments. Experimental timber harvesting above a series of small-weirs introduced weed species into the streams, replacing some of the native macroalgal species. Indigenous macroalgal species return 5 or so years after selective timber thinning, but they do not return even 10 years after clear-felling and fertilizing. The macroalgae of the upper Yarra River basin can be grouped into those that can grow throughout the year, those whose growth is restricted by water temperature, and those with a distinct seasonality unrelated to water temperature.

Full text

Abstract:

The uptake and release of phosphorus, nitrogen, iron, and manganese from Yarra River sediments have been examined using laboratory reactors. Both slurried and static sediments were exposed to an alternating regime of oxic and anoxic conditions. Experiments examined the effect of changing the oxygen status on daily and weekly time frames. In all experiments, after anoxia was re-established, oxidant consumption followed the expected thermo-dynamic order: O2 > MnIV ≈ NOx > FeIII. Contrary to predictions based on the standard iron–phosphorus model, significant phosphorus release was observed under oxic conditions. This was attributed to the mineralization of organic matter. Nitrate was shown to minimize phosphorus release from anoxic sediments by ‘redox buffering’ which prevented iron(III) reduction. The high ambient water column nitrate concentration (40–45 μM) in the Yarra River should effectively limit phosphorus release from the sediments unless long term (multiweek) anoxia occurs. Reduction of nitrate concentration occurred predominantly via denitrification. This work clearly demonstrated that on a time scale of hours to weeks, the iron, manganese, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles are interacting closely.

Abstract:

A report submitted to Victoria’s Minister for Environment, Climate Change & Water in 2015 identified that the mechanisms in place for governance of Melbourne’s Lower Yarra River inhibit the river’s potential to enhance the liveability of the City of Melbourne. An absence of shared strategy and coordinated management across multiple government agencies was highlighted. Recommendations were made for revised governance arrangements, but they have been largely disregarded. Scholarship of the structure and function of river governance networks is at an early stage, but this study applies theory from a related field – collaborative governance – to investigate the implications of this lost opportunity for enhanced collaboration. The study explores the opportunity to apply an integrated framework for collaborative governance developed by Emerson, Nabatchi & Balogh, and its constituent elements, to an urban river governance context. The integrated framework is shown to be a valuable tool for illuminating the drivers, engagement processes, motivational attributes and joint capacities that can enable shared decision-making and implementation across multiple organisations and jurisdictions, to achieve desired ends. The study identifies the need to effectively manage political, legal, socioeconomic and environmental influences (the system context), along with the constraints of collaboration dynamics, if a collaborative governance regime is to be successfully implemented. The study identifies that factors such as interdependence, leadership direction, consequential incentives and uncertainty play a key role in driving collaboration dynamics, in the context of an urban river corridor. A collaborative multi-regulator partnership approach is advocated as the immediate way forward for the Lower Yarra.

Full text

Abstract:

The Macquarie perch (Macquaria australasica) is a threatened fish species that inhabits rivers and impoundments in south-eastern Australia. Previous studies have shown that Macquarie perch in impoundments exhibit synchronised upstream spawning migrations to shallow, fast-flowing habitats in the lower reaches of inflowing streams. There has been little study of movement behaviours of entirely riverine populations of Macquarie perch despite this being the species’ natural habitat. Here, radio-telemetry is used to test the hypothesis that riverine populations exhibit synchronised migrations during the spawning season. Thirty Macquarie perch in the Yarra River, Victoria, a translocated population outside of the species’ natural range, were radio-tagged before the late spring–early summer spawning season and their movements followed over a 10-month period (May 2011 to February 2012). Tagged fish typically occupied restricted reaches of stream (<450 m). Sixteen of the fish undertook occasional upstream or downstream movements (~250–1000 m) away from their usual locations, particularly associated with large flow variations during the spawning season. There was no evidence of synchronised migratory behaviour or movement of multiple fish to specific locations or habitats during the spawning season. Whilst further research over more years is needed to comprehensively document the spawning-related behaviours of riverine Macquarie perch, our study demonstrates that management of riverine populations of this threatened species cannot necessarily be based on the model of spawning behaviour developed for lacustrine populations.

Abstract:

An oxygen-deficient (12.8 microM dissolved oxygen and oxygen saturation 5.0-7.4% in the water of the deep hole) isolated water system in the deep hole of the Yarra River estuary was investigated to discover the relationship between iodate and iodide. The iodate concentration in the water of the deep hole was very low (0.039 to 0.062 microM at bottom water, salinity from 26.8-30.0 Practical Salinity Scale, 1978), because iodate reduced to iodide in the water by reducing agents (S2-, Fe2+ and Mn2+) diffused from the sediment of the deep hole.
The concentrations of iodine species in the sediment pore water and suspended material in the water of the deep hole were determined to investigate iodine cycling in the deep hole. The iodine flux from sediment into overlying water in the deep hole was 15.6 micromol/m^2.day. The concentration of total inorganic iodine (iodate+iodide) in the dry suspended material from the water of the deep hole was 0.117 micro mol/g. The water residence time in the deep hole was studied. In winter especially, the seawater of high density may intrude into the deep hole with the highest tides. The seawater remains trapped in the deep hole below the halocline, which allows the development of oxygen-deficient conditions.
It was found that in the deep hole the iodide concentration increase resulted from sediment diffusion (36%), iodate reduction (27%) and release from suspended material (37%) during the water residence time in the water of the deep hole. The iodine cycling in the deep hole was: iodate in the water reduced to iodide by reducing agents diffused from sediment; suspended material containing soluble or particular iodine may release iodide and also trap iodate and iodide from water during precipitation; iodate in the sediment reduced to iodide and iodide diffused from sediment into overlying water. Iodine is accumulated in the isolated water in the deep hole and might be moved out at the next water exchange.

Abstract:

The development and use of any specific model depend on the availability of data and the hydrological settings of a country. Because of data limitations (especially water quality and land management data), the water quality models developed for Australian catchments are lumped/semi-distributed conceptual models. Even within these modelling frameworks, water quality component is empirical or generation rates-based. In this context, developing an effective water quality management plan in the data-poor conditions of Australia still remains as a major challenge for water catchment managers, despite huge investment on river health improvement programs. Physics-based distributed water quality models such as SWAT are most suitable for agricultural non-point source pollution studies. However, because of high data requirement and processing, the applications of these models are limited in many datapoor catchments. In this study, relevant input data sources and analysis techniques were addressed especially for sparsely available water quality data to assemble, and to rigorously calibrate and validate the SWAT based Middle Yarra Water Quality Model (MYWQM) for the case study area - Middle Yarra Catchment (MYC) of Victoria, Australia. The regression based model LOADEST was used for estimating sediment, and nutrient observed loads from monthly water quality grab sample data. The MYWQM was then used to develop a water quality management plan for agricultural non-point source pollution in the MYC. In general, the MYWQM was found capable of predicting streamflow, sediment and nutrient loads in the MYC. The model was also found effective for simulating individual and integrated effects of several Best Management Practices (BMPs) in the MYC. Moreover, the model showed that the in-stream processes if not considered can result in incorrect estimates when simulating BMPs in the model. Overall, the performance of the MYWQM on evaluating the BMPs in the MYC demonstrated that data-intensive physics-based models can be applied in the data-poor conditions of Australia.

Abstract:

This study developed an objective drought assessment tool through a Drought Index (DI), and then developed a drought forecasting tool using the developed DI to forecast future drought conditions. These tools can be used to assist water managers to assess droughts effectively and forecast future drought conditions, which will allow them to plan ahead the water management activities during droughts. The Yarra River catchment in Australia was considered as the case study catchment, since the management of water resources in this catchment has great importance to majority of Victorians. To achieve the objectives of this study, an evaluation of existing DIs was first conducted in terms of their suitability for the assessment of drought conditions in the study catchment. Based on the findings of the evaluation study, a new Nonlinear Aggregated Drought Index (NADI) was developed and evaluated for the Yarra River catchment.

Abstract:

Rivers can provide valuable supply of drinking water for humans, irrigation water to farmlands, water for hydropower and home for many aquatic ecosystems. However, due to population increase and its adverse effects on the rivers, inappropriate farming activities in the river catchments, and other similar adverse activities, the water quality in rivers has generally declined. Therefore, appropriate river water quality management strategies aimed at controlling and improving water quality should be seriously considered. At least, these strategies should not reduce further degradation of current water quality in rivers. To manage river water quality in the most effective and efficient way, the cause and effect relationships of the river system must first be investigated. One example of this cause and effect relationship is the inappropriate setting of effluent license limits for sewage treatment plants (STPs). Setting low effluent license limits causes poor river water quality with high concentration of nutrients in rivers. Water quality simulation modelling tools are extensively used in water quality management to identify these cause and effect relationships, and to simulate and study the effects of various 'what-if management strategies prior to their implementation. Such a simulation model is not available to model the Yarra River, its tributaries and associated STPs, and therefore, the development of a water quality model for Yarra River is the focus of this thesis.

Abstract:

Climate change has affected diverse physical and biological systems worldwide. The impact of climate change on water resources is one of the most important. Even though the world’s water resources are rapidly deteriorating due to the combined effects of climate change, population growth and fast urban development, climate change has been posing new challenges to water resources managers. Uncertainty of the climatic pattern is a major challenge for water authorities to formulate effective water management policies according to the prevailing and future climatic conditions.

Abstract:

Within the Yarra River catchment area nestles the valley of Steels Creek, a small shallow basin in the lee of Kinglake plateau and the Great Dividing Range. The escarpment walls of the range drop in a series of ridges to the valley and form the south-eastern boundary of the Kinglake National Park. The gentle undulations that flow out from the valley stretch into the productive and picturesque landscape of Victoria’s famous wine growing district, the Yarra Valley. Late on the afternoon of 7 February 2009, the day that came to be known as Black Saturday, the Kinglake plateau carried a massive conflagration down the fringing ranges into the Steels Creek community. Ten people perished and 67 dwellings were razed in the firestorm. In the wake of the fires, the devastated residents of the valley began the long task of grieving, repairing, rebuilding or moving on while redefining themselves and their community. In Living with Fire, historians Tom Griffiths and Christine Hansen trace both the history of fire in the region and the human history of the Steels Creek valley in a series of essays which examine the relationship between people and place. These essays are interspersed with four interludes compiled from material produced by the community. In the immediate aftermath of the fire many people sought to express their grief, shock, sadness and relief in artwork. Some painted or wrote poetry, while others collected the burnt remains of past treasures from which they made new objects. These expressions, supplemented by historical archives and the essays they stand beside, offer a sensory and holistic window into the community’s contemporary and historical experiences. A deeply moving book, Living with Fire brings to life the stories of one community’s experience with fire, offering a way to understand the past, and in doing so, prepare for the future.

Abstract:

In reality, there can be no generic definition of an “ideal soil” because a soil’s performance is influenced by the local climate, landscape characteristics, grape variety, and cultural practices and is judged in the context of a winegrower’s objectives for style of wine to be made, market potential, and profitability of the enterprise. This realization essentially acknowledges the long-established French concept of terroir: that the distinctiveness or typicity of wines produced in individual locations depends on a complex interaction of biophysical and human cultural factors, interpreted by many as meaning a wine’s sense of place. As discussed in “Soil Variability and the Concept of Terroir” in chapter 1, because of this interaction of factors that determine a particular terroir, it is not surprising that no specific relationships between one or more soil properties and wine typicity have been unequivocally demonstrated. While acknowledging this conclusion, it is still worthwhile to examine how variations in several single or combined soil properties can influence vine performance and fruit character. These properties are: • Soil depth • Soil structure and water supply • Soil strength • Soil chemistry and nutrient supply • Soil organisms Provided there are no subsoil constraints, the natural tendency of long-lived Vitis vinifera, on own roots or rootstocks, to root deeply and extensively gives it access to a potentially large store of water and nutrients. In sandy and gravely soils that are naturally low in nutrients, such as in the Médoc region of France, the Margaret River region in Western Australia, and the Wairau River plain, Marlborough region, New Zealand, the deeper the soil the better. A similar situation pertains on the deep sandy soils on granite in the Cauquenas region, Chile. However, such depth may be a disadvantage where soils are naturally fertile and rain is plentiful, as in parts of the Mornington Peninsula, King and Yarra Valley regions, Victoria, Australia, and the Willamette Valley region in Oregon (see figure 1.11, chapter 1), because vine growth is too vigorous and not in balance.

Abstract:

<p>The Swan Street Bridge is a reinforced concrete five-span arch bridge crossing the Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia. Constructed circa 1950, it provided four lanes of traffic and narrow pedestrian footpaths on both sides. The bridge forms part of a key route for vehicular access into the Central Business District, as well as pedestrian thoroughfare to the sporting and events precinct.</p><p>Substantial increases in traffic volumes meant the bridge had become a significant bottleneck and was hazardous for pedestrians. In response to this, a scheme was developed to widen the bridge – providing an additional lane of traffic and four-metre-wide Shared User Paths on both sides – all guided by an overlaying architectural vision created by the winner of a design competition.</p><p>This paper presents the structural technical solutions adopted for the strengthening and widening, which considered the original structural design, as well as the architectural intent for the widening.</p>
