Monitoring, evaluation and reporting program technical reports

The Monitoring, evaluation and reporting (MER) program technical reports and associated indicator protocols provide the scientific basis for the analyses and reporting products contained in the State of the catchments (SOC) reports published in December 2010. In each case, the technical reports detail the methodologies used in data collection, analysis and evaluation of the data as contained in those SOC 2010 reports. The methodologies, together with other relevant information, are generally contained in a single main report. In some instances, sampling and/or analytical procedures are described in separate reports, protocols or standards as listed under ‘Further information’ below.
