The research focused on improving understanding of low flow requirements of environmental assets and values in a climate change context and developing a conservation prioritisation method to identify priority locations for future management decisions.

​​This study explored the ability to develop reference curves to describe exemplar age class distributions for key floodplain tree species. ​ ​​Understanding the characteristics of tree populations, such as their density, age structure, rates of recruitment (germination and establishment of new trees), growth, and mortality (death rates), are important to understanding the likelihood that tree populations are sustainable. This includes understanding the role of these processes on age class distributions. Developing reference curves – tools that help to define the acceptable limits of parameters such as age class distributions – helps us to determine the likelihood that tree populations are sustainable or may require management intervention to promote recruitment or old growth for example. ​

History has never forgotten Wentworth in southwestern New South Wales (NSW). Now locals are working to preserve some of that history.

Water infrastructure is a term which can apply to a range of assets: dams, weirs, flood levees and embankments, fishways, regulators, pump stations, managed aquifer recharge ponds and injection wells and desalination plants.

Last month the Lake Victoria Advisory Committee met at Lake Victoria (Tar-Ru) for its 100th meeting, and to celebrate the retirement of the committee’s longstanding Chairperson, Jane Lennon.

During May this year, we supported an archaeological inspection at Lake Victoria (Tar-Ru) in south-western New South Wales.

Basin in Brief provides a monthly summary of climate, rainfall, inflows and water quality information. This page was updated 13 April 2023.

An historic family connection with the Hume Dam has been discovered by an MDBA staff member.

For the past 25 years, strong collaboration between governments, First Nations people and the broader community has been working to protect cultural heritage at Lake Victoria – Tar-Ru in far south-west NSW.

Hydrological conditions often differ each year and across regions of the Basin. Planning for dry conditions is a major challenge for river operators, water resource managers and the community.
