Description: This project was begun in January 1990 in response to a need to characterise the fauna of the Sabie-Sand River system for which plans were already advanced to build impoundments. During the cource of the project, the region was subjected to the worst drought on record. As a result the scope and duration of the project was extended. This volume is the first of three which describe the results. Volume 1 de-scribes the ecological status of the Sabie, the Sand and other major tributaries of the system, including the diversity and distribution of the fish and macro-invertebrate faunas, and their habitat requirements. The second volume describes the results of a drought monitoring programme in which three reaches of the Sabie and one in the Sand River were intensively sampled throughout the worst drought on record, from 1991 to 1992. The purpose of this volume is to assess the probable effects of proposed impoundments in the Sabie-Sand River (both positive and nega-tive) on the ecology of the downstream reaches, and to draw on the information from volumes one and two to make recommendations for the management and monitoring of the flows in the river.
