TLDR
This document reviews such bioassessment programs from a number of countries, assessing and comparing their QA/QC methods and procedures to those used in the AusRivAS program.Abstract:
Foreword WATER ECOscience was engaged by the Department of the Environment and Heritage to undertake a comprehensive study of Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) issues and procedures associated with the Australian AusRivAS program. One component of this study involves a review of available literature dealing with QA/QC methodology and criteria associated with the physical collection of site biological and environmental data, the identification of macroinvertebrates and data processing and storage. This document reviews such bioassessment programs from a number of countries, assessing and comparing their QA/QC methods and procedures to those used in the AusRivAS program. Physical habitat assessment QA/QC procedures within the AusRivAS program have also been collated and reviewed with particular emphasis given to data used as predictor variables in AusRivAS models.read more
