Hear from Regional Engagement Officer (REO) Shona Whitfield on how the Queensland flood waters journeyed through her patch of the Basin.

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. ​

I travelled to many interesting places in my journey across the Murray–Darling Basin, from snow-capped peaks to desert sands, and flooded wetlands to rich green crops, and all the way to where the rivers meet the sea.

The Murray–Darling Basin has many different ecosystems and is home to a large variety of native plants, which all contribute to the health of the Basin.

Lesson plans for junior or upper primary students. The Waterweed wipeout app is not available.

This is a technical report by Alluvium Consulting. This report contains advice to the Murray-Darling Basin Authority concerning key ecosystem functions and their water requirements.

The reports assess the health of river red gum and black box forest and woodland at each of The Living Murray icon sites during 2015.

This report outlines the methodology and example results from using satellite imagery to study flow inundation patterns across the lower Balonne and middle Darling regions.
