Environmental Water Quality - A Guide To Sampling And Measurement, Richard J. George, Davie Weaver, James Terry
Agriculture reports
The guide covers the problems associated with sampling water in the field and suggestions to overcome them. The main types of water pollution that potentially occur in the south west of Western Australia are discussed and for each contaminant, the origins and environmental effects are briefly described and where available, water quality guidelines are provided for major water uses. This is followed by specific requirements of the collection, storage and analysis of samples. The guide also includes further reading and details on suppliers, analytical costs and web resources.

Degradation Of Remnant Vegetation, Richard George, Don Mcfarlane, Russell Speed
Degradation Of Remnant Vegetation, Richard George, Don Mcfarlane, Russell Speed
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Remnant vegetation, wetlands and riverine systems on both private and public land throughout south-western Australia are being rapidly degraded by dryland salinity, inundation, silting, nutrient enrichment and weed invasion. Richard George, Don McFarlane and Russel Speed outline some of the reasons why this is happening and provide some case studies that highlight actions to protect these remnants.
