Ecosystem health is variable throughout the Southern Hill Country FMU. Nitrogen levels are generally low,
but elevated in-stream concentrations of dissolved reactive phosphorous are found in the majority of rivers,
along with high rates of sedimentation, which impact aquatic ecosystems. Periphyton is monitored at one
site, with occasional blooms occurring, although there is limited data to provide a comprehensive picture of
algal growth across this FMU. Macroinvertebrate community

productivity, continued to be within the category of mesotrophic to possibly
mildly eutrophic (mildly nutrient enriched). However, taking into account the influence of suspended
sediment in this reservoir, and the moderately low chlorophyll levels, the classification is more appropriately
mesotrophic. Previous trending of these water quality data over time found a very slow rate of increase in
trophic level. Updated trend analysis, for the period 1990-2018, reconfirmed the rate of increase in trophic
