Field Trip in KwaZulu Natal for K5/1796

Field Trip for the retrieval of water temperature data loggers in the Mkuze, Umvoti and Umzimkulu Rivers. For the WRC project on the development of river conservation targets (K5/1796)

Loggers are housed in metal casings and attached to rocks or tree roots, and needed to be removed for final download of temperature data which has been recorded over an eight month period.

This data complements aquatic macroinvertebrate surveys.



Many landowners and managers take an interest in the work being done and assist with access and information.
