Scientists from the department's Surface Water Science team, are conducting field work to monitor the health of plant communities in the Northern Murray Darling Basin.
We used satellite imagery to monitor the replenishment of remnant pools and low flow connectivity during a protected environmental flow event in the most recent drought.
The Surface Water Science team used hydrological data to assess how effective cease-to-pump rules are at protecting low and base flows in rivers.
In April 2021, the Water Science team collected data on how environmental flows may overcome the impacts of Snowy Hydro Scheme weirs and dams on aquatic ecosystems within the Snowy mountains.
