This report analysed where and why the river water became so saline and provided management options to lower the salinity to the target value.
This report illustrates how the quantity and quality of the catchment’s water resources have been affected by vegetation changes such as clearing native vegetation and later replanting some of these areas with trees, and probably by climate changes and climate variability as well.
The Warren River catchment is the area from the Warren River headwaters to the Barker Road Crossing gauging station and includes the Unicup Lake area.
The upper Warren River catchment comprises the Tone River, Perup River and Wheatley Farm subcatchments.
The Tone River and Perup River subcatchments, which contribute disproportionately high quantities of salt, will be targeted for salinity mitigation actions.
