Title	Bushfire Impact Water Quality
Abstract	Water quality loggers were installed in seven NSW estuaries with bushfire impact in the surrounding catchment area in January 2020 - Bellinger River, Khappinghat Creek, Lake Conjola, Termeil Lake, Meroo Lake, Tuross River and Wonboyn River. These loggers will record the water quality response in each estuary over time with a range of phyico-chemical indicators, including; temperature, conductivity, salinity and dissolved oxygen, and in the Wonboyn River; pH, turbidity, chlorophyll-a and coloured dissolved organic matter. The data will be updated approximately monthly.

At time of logger download in the field, loggers are thoroughly cleaned, checked for drift using standards, and field calibrated if needed/where possible. Any malfunctioning loggers are returned to the laboratory and replaced. Data is cleaned following standard QAQC procedures before being made available. Location of loggers was recorded with Lowrance boat-based GPS.

Explanation	Some fields have missing data. This is due to either; data is awaiting thorough checking and quality assurance before publishing, data does not meet QAQC standards, erroneous data has been collected and subsequently discarded, or data is not available for a given time period. Not all indicators are collected at all logger locations. Listed data fields in each site are the only possible indicators for that site.
