Water Quality Group to pour over results THE LDC’s community-based water quality monitoring group is proving its worth to scientists, collecting data on how much sediment and nutrient run-off is flowing into the Great Barrier Reef from catchments around Bowen and Collinsville. International Gully Symposium in Townsville Eighth International T HE Symposium on Gully Erosion (ISGE) is being held in Townsville 21-27 July, the first ISGE in the southern hemisphere, and NQ Dry Tropics is involved. Stomping Out Sediment: how to keep the soil HE LDC project builds on, T and aligns with, existing local initiatives in the BBB catchment. One of those initiatives is the NQ Dry Tropics’ Stomping Out Sediment project, and LDC supported its recent field day.
