This report documents work undertaken by the Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology and the Cooperative Research Centre for Freshwater Ecology on the performance of an urban pollution control pond (Blackburn Lake). The study forms part of project Ul (Gross Pollutant Management and Urban Pollution Control Ponds) in the CRC’s Urban Hydrology Program.

The Urban Hydrology Program investigates the sources, movement and modelling of pollutants in urban areas, gross pollutant management and the behaviour of urban pollution control ponds. This report summarises and interprets the data collected from two years of extensive flow and water quality monitoring from an urban pollution control pond.
