The Chowilla Floodplain and Lindsay–Wallpolla Islands is one of 6 icon sites along the River Murray identified as a priority under The Living Murray river restoration program.

The Chowilla Floodplain covers 17,750 ha. The floodplain environment is undergoing a severe decline due to the reduction in frequency of flooding and impact of highly saline groundwater resulting in the death of long-lived vegetation, rising soil salinity and decreased breeding opportunities for floodplain fauna.

This report outlines the models and methods used to inform the proposed 'environmentally sustainable level of take' (ESLT).

The Upper Darling area associated with the salt interception scheme is located on the eastern bank of the Daring River approximately 30 km southwest of Bourke.

The objective of this feasibility report is to establish the feasibility of a pipeline/channel delivery system that would efficiently and effectively dispose of saline groundwater from the Stockyard Plain Disposal Basin in the Riverland Region of South Australia to the sea.

The Living Murray initiative aims to recover water and implement works to achieve specific environmental outcomes for six Icon Sites along the River Murray.

The Water Act 2007 requires that assessment of environmental water needs of the Basin must encompass key environmental assets, including water-dependent ecosystems, ecosystem services, and sites with ecological significance; key ecosystem functions; the productive base; and key environmental outcomes for the water resource.

The "flow regime" of the Narran Ecosystem is important and central to maintaining its ‘ecological character’ (Thoms et al., 2001), i.e., the combination of the physical, chemical and biological components of the system.
