Assessment of Information Needs for Freshwater Flows into Australian Estuaries

This report was commissioned by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) and Land & Water Australia (LWA) to assess the information needs for freshwater flows into estuaries.

Assessment of Information Needs for Freshwater Flows into Australian Estuaries

This report was jointly commissioned by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation and Land & Water Australia to assess the information needs for freshwater flows into estuaries. This report is based on the results of a desk study together with the outputs from an expert workshop. It has the following objectives: create a logical framework showing the potential links between freshwater inflows and (more)...

The Bayesian Network Models for Environmental Flow Decision-making

This final report summerises the activities and outcomes of the Land & Water Australia Project - Environmental Flow Bayesian Network Decision-Making Framework. The development of two Bayesian Network models used as a decision-support tool for determining environmental flows in major rivers in Australia are reported on. The first eFlows BN model was for the Latrobe River in Victoria, a river system that is highly regulated and (more)...

Seeking champion for environmental flows research

Scientists, policy makers and water managers from across Australia have gathered at the National Museum in Canberra today for a national forum on environmental water management, to review the state of the nation’s scientific knowledge in this area, and to determine who will lead and undertake the vital future research needed by policy makers and practitioners alike. 

Water Planners Forums

The National Water Commission, in partnership with Land & Water Australia, is currently investing in a number of water planning and policy projects. As part of this investment, building an informal “community of practice” for water planners through regular contact and sharing of information and ideas is a key component. In February 2009, the second Water Planner’s Forum was (more)...
