Key features ofJerrabomberra wetlands • Habitat of a wide range of native and migratory birds also to reptiles. • These migratory birds are the species which are listed under International agreements for conservation. • Listed in the directory of important wetlands in Australia.

Jerrabomberra Wetlands Nature Reserve Report 2013. Department of Territory and Municipal Services, ACT Government. Water sources in the wetlands are • Rainwater 91.4% • External catchment discharge 8.5% • Groundwater 1% of the wetland water
- 8. • ‘Basin PriorityProject’ has been launched by the ACT government with funding from Australian Government targeted to improve the water quality of Canberra’s lakes and water bodies. • This project considered six catchment areas as the representative of different land use pattern and catchment characteristics. • Fyshwick catchment has been considered as an exemplar of mixture of grazing pasture (56%) and intensive industrial and commercial land use(30%). • Earlier research concluded that Fyshwick has a very poor defined stormwater network and overland flow path in Central and North sub catchments. • These results an uncontrolled release of storm water runoff from north and central area.

Storm water runoff from Fyshwick Jerrabomberra Wetlands Lake Burley Griffin •Receives the untreated runoff from Fyshwick • Purifies the water and release downstream • Acts as a major recreational area in ACT • Water intakes from Jerrabomberra wetlands Connection between Fyshwick and Jerrabomberra wetlands
- 11. • Studies havebeen conducted on the surface runoff quality of Fyshwick industrial area by AECOM. • The water quality of East Basin of Lake Burley Griffin is conducted regularly in summer. • However there is a significant deficiency of surface water quality data inside the wetlands. • Adequate surface water quality data is required to develop a clear understanding of the wetland performance in water purification. The proposed research project aims to develop a spatial and temporal variation of water quality parameters in a part of the wetlands in response to the surface runoff from the Fyshwick Catchment. Research Gap

To provide the Management Authority of Jerrabomberra Wetlands with spatial maps of water quality parameters. To plot the temporal variation of surface water quality for the study period and contribute to the surface water quality database of the Jerrabomberra wetlands. To do a comparison analysis with upstream and downstream historical water quality data. To calculate a nutrient budget for the study area. Research Aims and Objectives

Editor's Notes
- #2 Good afternoon everyone, I am Rahnum Tasnuva Nazmul, welcome to my presentation on Spatial and Temporal Variation of Water Quality Parameters in Jerrabomberra Wetland, Australian Capital Territory, my supervisor is Dr. Stuart Pearson and Co-supervisor is Dr. Hans Riesen
- #3 This is the outline of my presentation. I would like to mention that there will be no specific section for literature review, relevant literature will be discussed where appropriate.
- #4 I have completed my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. My major Courses are Environmental Engineering and Structural Engineering.
- #5 Catchment and Water Resources Modelling course focused on an advanced knowledge in Water Resources Engineering Methodologies and Hydrology. Learning ArcGIS Desktop in ESRI virtual Campus. This course served as a prerequisite course for Applications in Geographic Information Analysis Application in Geographic Information Analysis focused on the customization of the applications of Geographic Information System in order to solve different types of geographical problems.
- #7 The Jerrabomberra wetlands are located on the heart of the Australian Capital, Canberra. Its situated Eastern edge Lake Burley Griffin, surrounded by Turf farm on east, southern borders are surrounded by Fyshwick Industrial area and Kingston area. Jerrabomberra Creek has its entrance into the reserve through its South-Eastern corner while the Molonglo river has bypass the reserve through its Northern boundary. Finally the West of the reserve meets the Eastern edge of lake Burley Griffin.
- #8 Being located in such an important geographical location in the centre of the city this Wetlands serves as a major habitat of a wide range of native and migratory birds to replies listed under international agreements. Because of its outstanding contribution in the ecosystem it has been listed in the directory of important wetlands in Australia. Along with its widespread contribution to the ecosystem it also plays an important role in maintaining the downstream water quality to the Lake Burley Griffin. An assessment study on the water sources pathway in Jerrabomberra wetlands conducted by Ian Lawrence found the water source of the wetlands to be dependent on the rainwater up to 91.4%, on external catchment up to 8.5% and on groundwater up to 1%.
- #9 An study on Fyshwick and Jerrabomberra wetlands stormwater quality investigation conducted on 2013 by Batterley and Stone found the north sub catchment and Fyshwick central sub catchment having a very poor defined stormwater network and overland flow path which results in an uncontrolled release of stormwater runoff.
- #10 Earlier discussion on water sources in JB wetlands, showed 8.5% of water in JBW comes from external sub catchment discharges. In total there are 8 sub catchments. They can be seen from the above picture. Among these 4 catchment brings water from Fyshwick area. JB creek also carries water from Fyshwick.
- #11 As a receiving water body of storm water runoff it is very important to monitor the variation of water quality parameters in the wetlands there is a significant deficiency of surface water quality data inside the wetlands which is very important to develop a clear understanding of the wetland performance in water purification
