The Commonwealth's unregulated entitlements in the northern Basin are predominantly used in - stream where they contribute to natural flow variability and improve the environmental outcomes of all natural flow events.

A flow event in January 2016 resulted in access to Commonwealth allocations and approximately 859 ML of Commonwealth environmental water contributed to in - stream flows.

The Portfolio Management Plan for the northern unregulated rivers therefore focuses on the opportunities for active management of flows and event - based mechanisms, including water purchase and use on - farm and in - stream infrastructure, and where this could be employed strategically to contribute to the objectives and outcomes of the Murray - Darling Basin Plan and Basin - wide environmental watering strategy and Basin annual environmental watering priorities.

Our long - term intervention monitoring (LTIM) researchers are well placed to understand and report on the benefits of natural flows (as distinct from environmental water flows) and how we might mimic similar conditions through environmental water delivery to stimulate future events.

For Tacoli (2009) the current alarmist predictions of massive flows of so - called «environmental refugees» or «environmental migrants», are not supported by past experiences of responses to droughts and extreme weather events and predictions for future migration flows are tentative at best.
