Monitoring
• Monitoring is used for water supply, conservation planning, water quality, state of environment reporting, management and detecting disturbance
The Australian
Issue 1
• Monitoring happens at site or local scale but management happens on catchment or regional scale
Issue 2
• Aggregation of local to regional information is currently inconsistent

Question
• Can a spatial modelling approach predict ecosystem health along stream networks for entire catchments?
The Australian
Indicator Selection
The spatial-temporal characteristics of remotely derived covariates of an indicator must be suitable for prediction

Survey DesignThe survey design must ensure that the locations of data are suitable for model-based predictions and maintain statistical integrity

Assessment
Survey and model-based data must be quantitatively integrated into the assessment process

UncertaintyUncertainty must be accounted for during the assessment and reporting process. Uncertainty should also feedback into the survey-design phase to identify areas where more or less data are required

Scenarios
Spatially explicit management scenarios allow cause-and-effect linkages to be explored

Reporting
Design and model-based reporting using innovative visualisation techniques (e.g. continuous maps of condition, trend, and uncertainty) aid communication with stakeholders.

SummaryThe workshop outcome maximises the use of data from design-based assessments and provides a framework for future monitoring programs that combine design-based assessment with spatial-modelling.
