Flow requirements and resource delivery to the Lower Murray Lakes and Northern Coorong

As discussed in the previous milestone reports, the drawdown of water levels in the Lower Lakes to unprecedented levels has provided an additional focus for the project. This has been done to provide relevant information to the managers and assist with both the short-term and long-term management of the region. It has included investigating the changes water quality during drawdown and likely changes in water quality upon reflooding the lakes.
