Daly River fish and flows project: an environmental flows study, May 2007

The need to understand how our river systems work is particularly pressing in the Daly River catchment in the Northern Territory. Most of the Northern Territory's current irrigation activity is found in the Daly, and it is a region likely to experience further agricultural development, due to its reliable groundwater reserves and relatively good soils. The Daly River is also recognised for its high conservation values, especially the large and permanent river flows.
This is the first in a series of newsletters to provide information about a new research project on fish and environmental flows in the Daly River in the Northern Territory.
