The Gwydir River Selected Area Flow-MER project monitors six scientific ‘indicators’ to help us understand the impact of water for the environment on the landscape, plants, and animals. To read the whole issue: 2rog.com.au/news/3076/ #theCEWH #UNE #NPWS #DPIFisheries

University of New England masters student Razzaq Sarker's scientific paper on the effect of inundation on frog behaviour and chorusing has been published and you can check it out here: lnkd.in/gtn6xR53 @WaterUNE Environmental Water The Flow-MER Program @nswenviromedia MD Basin Authority

The Flow-MER program monitors the water, plants and animals of the Warrego-Darling/Baaka Selected Area to understand the influence of water for the environment. tinyurl.com/3wwt3ryu #theCEWH #UNE #DPI_Fisheries #NPWS

Congratulations to 2rog’s own Paul Frazier and to Brad Moggridge (Bradley Moggridge (PhD)) who were co-awarded PeterCullen Water and Environment Trust ‘2022 Ripple Award’. The award recognised Paul as a leader, listener, an advocate and a change maker – Congratulations Paul!

With the end of the year fast approaching, we also have the first quarter of the year done and dusted. To learn about what has been happening in this system read the tinyurl.com/rdxjnnv9

What a year 2021-22 was. With lots of rainfalls, many successful waterbird breeding events and the rebuilding of face-to-face community engagements we in the Flow-MER program have had a year of many highlights. For more follow the link: tinyurl.com/mr35tp7c

Over the last 3 years our team has only found 6 Murray Cod in the Darling-Baaka River between Bourke and Louth. This is reason for concern. Read more here: tinyurl.com/yeym98uz The Flow-MER Program Environmental Water @WaterUNE Photo: Murray cod, Credit: Leo Cameron (DPI Fisheries)

The rainbow bee-eater (Merops ornatus) is classified as a significant migratory land bird species in the Flow-MER program. It is one of the bird species that is recorded at Toorale National Park and the Warrego Western Floodplain. For the full article: tinyurl.com/2b77meau

Deb Bower has been out on Toorale's Western Floodplain checking out the Murray River turtle's interaction with the floodplain, and she shared her findings in an interview in Bourke. Find the interview and article here: tinyurl.com/2p3ebx9m #Une #thecewh #turtles

Did you know that there are over 300 species of dragonfly in Australia? In Issue 33 we explain the importance of invertebrates and the dragonflies lifecycle. tinyurl.com/2p8jmpxk #UNE #theCEWH

The northern Basin has been rapidly drying. The CEWH arranged for large volumes of water to be released during February, this water has provided refreshing flows in the lower Balonne. #thecewh 2rog.com.au/news/lower-bal…

Following another spring of high water flows and water across floodplains, colonial-nesting waterbird breeding occurred for the second time in two years, and only the second time in 10 years. #theCEWO 2rog.com.au/news/gwydir-va…

The preservation of Hyrtl’s tandan in the Warrego River is aided greatly by the contribution of Commonwealth water for the environment. In Issue 35 we discuss the re-establishment of Hyrtl's tandan in the lower Warrego River. tinyurl.com/3wrf2krc #thecewh #nswdpe

As part of the Flow-MER program, scientists investigate what impact Commonwealth environmental water flows are having on fish, birds, vegetation and river connectivity in the Murray-Darling Basin. Read the full story: 2rog.com.au/news/issue-36-…

The Western Floodplain vegetation fluctuates as the floodplain alternates between wet and dry periods. Water loving species dominate wet periods, and during dry times terrestrial species move in. Read here: tinyurl.com/4mj69ax8 #UNE #thecewh

On June 17 the Kurnu-Baakandji People, 2rog, UNE, DPI Fisheries and members from the Toorale JMC and NPWS gathered on Toorale National Park to share cultural and science knowledge. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the day. tinyurl.com/yn539rwy

Dr Paul Frazier and Dr Mark Southwell met up with Bourke's Western Herald Newspaper and Rod Corfe from Radio 2WEB to discuss the recent Culture to Science day at Toorale, a part of the Warrego-Darling Flow-MER project. 2rog.com.au/news/bourke-ne…

The Gwydir Wetlands make up a part of the Gomeroi Peoples Country. Its water is the life source of the Gomeroi People and has been for thousands of years. The wetlands play a major cultural and environmental role which we explore here tinyurl.com/4sxwnxah

Following the large inundation event Flow-MER scientists Jared Reid and Emeritus Professor Nick Reid undertook a waterbird survey. Many parts of the floodplain were still wet, providing great habitat for waterbirds. 2rog.com.au/news/issue-40-…

Hydrology is the study of when, where and how galie (water) is delivered into a bagaay (river) channel, floodplain or warrambool (wetland). Check out the benefits of flows in the Gwydir: tinyurl.com/yxty7tcu
