River foreshore condition of the right bank, assessed and classed using the Pen-Scott classification method. The Pen-Scott method is a standardised rating technique that classifies foreshore areas along a gradient from pristine (A grade) through to D grade, connoting a ditch. The four grades are further divided into three sub-categories per grade, i.e. A1, A2 and A3. A1: Pristine A2: Near pristine A3: Slightly disturbed B1: Degraded – weed infested B2: Degraded – heavily weed infested B3: Degraded – weed dominated C1: Erosion prone C2: Soil exposed C3: Eroded D1: Ditch - eroding D2: Ditch – feely eroding D3: Drain – weed dominated See specific reports for more information and pictorial examples.

Locations where an assessment of riverbank protection fencing has been undertaken and the exact spatial location of fences is unknown. The linework is based on river linework - it does not show the spatial location of fences. Selecting a point along the linework will indicate if there is a fence which protects the river bank and may indicate the condition of the fence. It should be noted that linework will appear where an assessment of riverbank protection fencing has been undertaken, even if no fence is present at that location. Left and right bank are relative to an observer facing downstream. This dataset was formerly known as Foreshore Conditions - Assessment of Right Bank Protection Fencing (DOW-047)

Statewide River Water Quality Assessment (SRWQA) 2004 & 2008 uses water quality data collected as far back as 1998 to determine the status and trends of nine water quality parameters for all waterways in the state, where consistent data is available. The project was undertaken by the Water Science Branch of the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation in 1999 and 2004 has now been updated to include water quality information up to the end of 2007. This dataset only shows the classifications and trends from the 2004 and 2008 assessment. The Assessment focused on colour, dissolved organic carbon, dissolved oxygen, pH, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total dissolved salts, total suspended solids and turbidity. A total of 255 sites from 23 basins in Western Australia (out of a total of 44) were included in the 2008 update with 126 of these being assessed for the first time in 2008. In 2004 232 sites were assessed. Due to a lack of data numerous sites that were assessed in 2004 are not included in the 2008 update. Many basins had no data, whilst the others lacked recent monitoring data. The status and trend results were compiled into an excel spreadsheet. Dataset was formerly known as Statewide River Water Quality Assessment (DOW-056)

Site classifications and expert profile summary assessment based on ASS soil coring information obtained during the 2003-2005 acid sulfate soil mapping program covering low lying landscapes from the Peel-Harvey to Dunsborough, Scott Coastal Plain and Albany-Denmark region.
