«These latest scientific reports — the first of a five year monitoring and evaluation programme — indicate that Commonwealth
environmental water use during 2014 - 15 has contributed to positive outcomes for native fish, birds, frogs, and contributed to healthy waterways and productive environments.
The environmental watering plan provides a framework for planning and coordinating
environmental water use across the Basin.
principles to be applied in environmental watering, covering three main areas - what
environmental water use should seek to achieve, who environmental water managers should consult with, and practical issues environmental water managers need to consider when determining water use.
In years of relatively low flow, changes in weir pool levels in conjunction with
environmental water use can confer ecological benefits between the river and floodplain, such as nutrient exchange and wetting of fringing vegetation.
Environmental water use over successive years of lower flows has shown significant benefits for the system through the export of excess salt from the river, as well as through the reduction of the amount of salt imported into the Murray Mouth from the sea.
«We're working together to help to build and improve knowledge and information about the best way to generate positive outcomes from
environmental water use, based on seasonal, operational and management factors.

Environmental Water Use has been prepared to guide decisions on the use of Commonwealth environmental water.
A Framework for determining Commonwealth
environmental water use has been prepared in consultation with delivery partners, interested stakeholders / experts and with our Environmental Water Scientific Advisory Panel.
Monitoring and evaluating

«Local engagement officers help create of opportunities for interested local people to participate in decision - making around
environmental water use.»

environmental water use and we will consider any opportunity to diversify our range of water uses as knowledge and modelling improves.
