Abstract

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied.

The metadata was not provided by the data supplier and has been compiled by the programme based on known details at the time of acquisition.

This data was created from a special request to NSW Environmental Protection Authority for discharge data (salinity and volume) from the Hunter River Salinity Scheme.
