Samford Ecological Research Facility (SERF) Water Quality data

Water quality data from two permanent
sampling sites on the Samford Creek, southeast Queensland, Australia. Data parameters include major cations and anions, plus
total inorganic and organic nitrogen and phosphorus. This data is
sampled to investigate the effects of land use change, in particular
urbanisation, on the aquatic system in a peri-urban environment.
Further, the data will be used to validate a catchment hydrological
model of the area using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), which
will simulate the effects of different land use scenarios on the
catchment water balance and nutrient fluxes.
