With over 30,000 wetlands in the Murray−Darling Basin there are many major breeding or feeding sites for birds and macroinvertebrates.

After water is used some of it can return back to the river system – this water is known as a ‘return flow’.

The innovative use of drone technology combined with coding software is helping to improve the accuracy of waterbird monitoring across the Murray–Darling Basin.

Water for the environment is used to improve native fish populations, including threatened species. Find out about the priorities for 2023.

Decisions about where water for the environment goes are based on restoring waterbird populations for the health of the entire river system.
