The report confines itself to inland NSW. In attempting to quantify EC trends in NSW (from the late 1960s to the present), we decided to focus on unregulated tributary streams with instantaneous flow records. Where possible, these monitoring sites were chosen to represent a wide range of catchment conditions, such as annual rainfall, elevation and vegetation. There were 92 sites from 8 inland valleys.
