Taking a tour of Overland Corner, Maize Island & other sites with Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board & First Nations groups was a highlight of the month for CEWH staff! The tour prompted conversation about innovative environmental water deliveries - watch this space.

First Nations partnerships, environmental flows, water reform & AI (artificial intelligence) were just some of the topics CEWH staff absorbed during the AWA Ozwater Conference. We can’t wait to implement ideas gathered from Australia’s largest water industry forum!

Each part of the Murray–Darling Basin is different so it’s important to travel and get on-the-ground facts. CEWH Dr Simon Banks spent time in the Lower Balonne recently to discuss water management and also tour Cubbie Station. #waterfortheenvironment

Such good news to read from Victorian Fisheries Authority. Water for the environment is supporting native fish across the Murray–Darling Basin and these reports reinforce the good results our science program, Flow-MER, is documenting.
