Drought - Back Creek & Tumudgery Creek

Water levels, water quality, blue-green algae, fish, vegetation (river red gum and understorey communities) and waterbirds are being monitored regularly by MDFRC at Back and Tumudgery Creeks as the wetlands undergo a management-induced drying phase. August 2009

Drought - Euston Lakes

Water levels, water quality, blue-green algae, fish, vegetation and waterbirds are being monitored regularly by MDFRC at four wetlands of the Euston Lakes system as the wetland system undergoes a management-induced drying phase. August 2009

Drought - Tareena Billabong

Water levels, water quality, blue-green algae, fish, vegetation (river red gum and understorey communities) and waterbirds are being monitored regularly by MDFRC at Tareena Billabong as the wetland undergoes a management-induced drying phase. August 2009

Intervention monitoring of Hattah Lakes

This project will assess ecological risks and benefits of pumping water to icon sites. Pumping is currently being undertaken at a large number of sites as an emergency measure to maintain existing river red gums and is also expected to be a long-term management measure at Hattah Lakes.
October 2007

Land use on the Murrumbidgee River

This project proposes to determine the organic matter dynamics of wetlands on floodplains of differing land uses, and the community structure of primary consumers which rely on these resources. The major land use types within the lower Murrumbidgee River floodplain will be identified, and wetlands within these land use types will be selected along with reference sites in relatively undisturbed areas. These wetlands will be assessed to determine the differences in the quality (C:N:P ratio) and quantity of organic matter and nutrients available to the aquatic food web, and the community structure of primary consumers. Links between the diversity of these biota and organic matter dynamics will enable us to develop a model of energy transfer in these systems according to land use type. May 2009

Murray Irrigation Monitoring

The project aims to detect and track changes in the condition of the aquatic environment over an extended timeframe and is expected to be an important part of MIL's commitment to ensuring decisions about river management are knowledge based. 2015

Murray River monitoring

The long-term Biological Monitoring Program funded by the MDBC was previously divided into 2 parts;Upper Murray (MDBC) and Lower Murray (GMW).MDFRC has been monitoring the Upper Murray River sites since 1980 and added the Lower Murray River sites in 2005. ongoing
