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.

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.

Water, sunlight, and clean air – did you know Goondiwindi has the perfect environment for growing ocean microalgae? This week MDBA Chair Sir Angus Houston visited Goondiwindi's Algae Pharm as part of his listening tour and learnt how the algae farm captures and recycles water.

The Menindee Lakes are located in south-west New South Wales on the Darling River, about 200 km upstream of the Darling River's junction with the River Murray.
