Program

Environmental water allocation in poorly understood aquatic ecosystems across Australia

program theme

Unlike the well-studied stressed rivers, there is a dearth of research in the less heavily used rivers. Most lie in tropical Australia along the coastline, in Tasmania and in the semi-arid inland. In these systems, there is a need to undertake the fundamental research of ecological response to different flow regimes upon which management plans can be built.
