0Upper Murrumbidgee Demonstration Reach
Established in 2009, the Upper Murrumbidgee Demonstration Reach (UMDR) is the youngest of the seven in the Basin but has steadily been gaining momentum in the region. Acknowledging that rivers and fish do not recognise linear boundaries, the UMDR was established to span 100 km over two jurisdictions between Bredbo (NSW) and Casuarina Sands (ACT). […]

0Bush birds respond to environmental water in Murray
There’s fresh hope for woodland bird populations thanks to environmental water. The latest research, focusing on wetlands in southern NSW, shows that woodland birds are responding to environmental water by feeding and – most importantly – breeding in nearby bushland.

0Follow that frog - in the Lachlan valley
When the creeks run dry and the temperature rises, where do all the frogs go?
Amphibians are among the first animals to respond when water arrives in a wetland. Their croaking chorus creates a din that can be heard kilometres away. But how do inland frogs survive Australia’s hot dry summers when running water can all but disappear?

0Working together to support native fish
The science behind water management is helping to provide healthy habitat capable of sustaining native fish throughout their lifetime. Environmental water is a key component of this process with promising outcomes in Murrumbidgee rivers and wetlands.

0Hopkins Wetlands
The Glenelg Hopkins catchment has more than 5,400 wetlands, covering 73,000 ha or three per cent of the region’s area. This represents 14 per cent of Victoria’s total area of wetlands and 44 per cent of the state’s total number of wetlands.
