The National Water Commission has funded research through its Raising National Water Standards Program to –
- investigate the scientific and management implications of the Ecological Limits of Hydrologic Alteration framework for regional environmental flow assessment (Prof Angela Arthington)
- research modelling of low flows and ways to improve information on flow related ecology (Dr Fran Sheldon)
- complete a national waterbird survey of major wetlands in Australia, assess long term changes in waterbird numbers in eastern Australia and establish a national waterbird database. (Dr Richard Kingsford)
The research findings are now available and the Commission invites you to register for a morning seminar where the Waterlines reports will be released. The seminar will feature a presentation from each author. Places are limited so get in early! Seminar Outline
