J. J. Faulks
Top End Waterways Project,

The overall aim of the project was to assess, describe and report on the land and water resources of the major waterways in the Katherine Region of the Northern Territory and to prepare for publication a comprehensive report on each of those waterways. Throughout 1995 -1997 the major tributaries within the Daly River and Victoria River catchments were assessed. This report provides an assessment of the Daly River catchment and major tributaries, in terms of the physical and environmental condition of these streams at the time of survey. The use and management of the waterways within the Daly River catchment have been identified,
major river management issues have been highlighted and broad river management recommendations have been proposed.

A report that provides overall summaries on the condition of the Daly River, as well as summaries of the condition of the sub-catchments. Also included are broad management issues and recommendations.
