- Description
- Rainfall, discharge and bedload were measured at three gauging stations in the Ngarradj Creek catchment at Jabiluka, Northern Territory. These gauging stations were East Tributary, Upper Swift Creek and Swift Creek, and all had catchment areas less than 45km2. Hand-held pressure-difference Helley-Smith bedload samplers were used to measure bedload fluxes for the 1998/1999, 1999/2000, 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 wet seasons. The bedload sampling procedure involved the completion of two traverses of the channel with at least four measurement points on each traverse at East Tributary, five at Upper Swift Creek and six at Swift Creek. Minimum sample collection time was 120 seconds and the maximum was 660 seconds. These variations were determined by bedload flux so that no more than 40% of the sample bag was filled at a time.
