Centre for Catchment and In-stream Research, Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland. Abstract This report presents the results of a range of lirnnological investigations carried out to provide an ecological basis for recommendations on the downstream flows required to maintain the environmental values of streams within the Tull y Millstream Hydroelectric Scheme in north Queensland. It includes information on stream hydrology, physical habitat, water quality, invertebrate communities, the fish fauna and reproductive cycles in relation to the flow regime, and a review of the in-stream water quality, habitat and flow requirements of fishes. The report concludes with a series of recommendations on alternative strategies for providing water to maintain the aquatic ecosystem of each sub-catchment. Arthington, A. H., B. M. Bycroft and D. L. Conrick (1992). Environmental Study of Barker-Barambah Creek: Volume 1: Executive Summary. Water Resources Commission, Brisbane and Centre for Catchment and In-stream Research, Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland. 35 pp. Abstract This Study was commissioned to examine effects of the Bjelke-Petersen Dam and the associated Barker-Barambah Irrigation Project on the natural environment. The study began in 1987, with the following objectives: (a) to obtain -a baseline assessment of the pre-impoundment hydrologic regime, physical habitat characteristics, water quality, fish, invertebrate and aquatic plant communities of Barker-Barambah Creek, (b) to develop a water allocation strategy to protect the water quality and in-stream values of the creek, and (c) to assist in the development of operational strategies for this and other imgation projects to minirnise adverse environmental effects. This report presents an overview of the study and describes the water allocation strategy. Arthington, A.H. and C.P. Catterall (1 989). Brisbane Waterways Management Study: Ecological Issues in Waterway Management. Report for the Brisbane Wetlands Management Study, Brisbane City Council. Centre for Catchment and In-stream Research, Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland. 34 pp. Abstract Ecological issues of significance to the management of waterways are reviewed, including the importance of riparian vegetation and biological instream resources. The report also provides an assessment of significant waterways for conservation in the Brisbane region. Arthington, A. H., D. L. Conrick and B. M. Bycroft (1992).

Ecology and Water Allocation Strategy. Water Resources Commission, Brisbane and Centre for Catchment and In-stream Research, Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland. 400 pp. Abstract This Study was commissioned to examine effects of the Bjelke-Petersen Dam and the associated Barker-Barambah Irrigation Project on the natural environment. The study began in 1987, with the objectives described above. This report presents all results arising from the study (17 chapters) and a final chapter which integrates information from various chapters into a recommended water allocation strategy for Barambah Creek. The study demonstrates that maintenance of imgation water quality, fish habitat and spawning requirements, invertebrates and aquatic macrophyte communities may require controlled supplementary water releases from the Bjelke-Petersen Dam. Three levels of stream discharge have been recommended to describe the boundary <strong>condition</strong>s of the water allocation strategy; flushing flow requirements are also described. Since large releases of water from September to November, or fluctuating water levels, could affect fish spawning and survival of eggs and fry, the water allocation strategy recommends that daily water level variations during critical spawning periods should not be allowed to exceed the natural changes that occur over the historic range of flow <strong>condition</strong>s in each month at particular sites. The study demonstrates that the management of streams must be undertaken within the framework of Integrated Catchment Management in order to address the range of water quality and in-stream issues comprehensively.

Water Resources Commission, Brisbane and Centre for Catchment and Instream Research, Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland. 100 pp. Abstract This Study was commissioned to examine effects of the Bjelke-Petersen Dam and the associated Barker-Barambah Irrigation Project on the natural environment. The Appendices present additional essential details on the findings of the study, basic calculations for certain analyses, and further information on the methodology used to assess the in-stream flow requirements of stream fishes (questionnaires, compilation of habitat preference data and the RHYHABSIM Computer Manual).
