The Upper Condamine Valley has been selected for the first stage of an ambient water-quality monitoring network for Queensland. This important agricultural region in the headwaters of the Murray-Darling River System is heavily reliant on groundwater and has a number of established and potential water-quality problems. The network will record the normal variation of a large number of parameters on a broad regional scale and determine long-term trends. It will give early warning of incipient deterioration (or improvement) in water quality and serve water users, catchment managers, or those undertaking more intensive studies. An assessment of existing water-quality data was carried out to select monitoring stations. The Water Resources Commission database contains thousands of analyses collected since the 1940s. However, only values for conductivity and the major ions (excluding nitrate) are considered reliable, and the data are unevenly distributed spatially and temporally, making assessment difficult. Cluster analyses were used to outline natural variation and unstable or problem areas. Environmental information and published reports were also used. Information from the network will be accessible to the public, and available either as raw data, statistical appraisals, or comprehensive water-quality reports.
