Dry season stream gaugings and water quality sampling were done on the Daly River and some major tributaries in July and September/October 2008. During the dry season the Katherine/Daly rivers are largely fed by groundwater discharge from aquifers in the Daly Basin. Late dry season stream flows were relatively high compared to historic measurements.
