Creator Russell, I.A.
 
Subject — Knysna estuary, water quality changes, temperature, clarity, TSS, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen.
Description Measurements of water temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, secchi disk depth, turbidity and total suspended solids were taken monthly in the Knysna estuary between 1991 and 1994. Measurements of turbidity and total suspended solids of waters entering the Knysna estuary via rivers and man-made inlets were also taken on an ad hoc basis. These results are described and compared to published data on past water quality conditions. No clear long-term changes in water quality in the estuary were evident. High inputs of sediments from minor catchments indicate the necessity for remedial actions.
