Captive Murray Hardyheads To maintain representative sub populations of Murray hardyhead from Lake Hawthorn and the Cardross Lakes until either location of alternative sites for translocation, or re-watering of the endemic sites (Cardross and Lake Hawthorn) can be achieved.

Flow characteristics and native tree species Literature review and experimental design to address retaining floodwater on floodplains and flow enhancement hypotheses relevant to native tree species

Water regimes & sulfidic sediments This project will determine appropriate wetting and drying strategies in inland wetlands to minimise the formation of sulfidic sediments. It will provide environmental water managers with tools and guidelines on how to best manage inland wetlands to prevent the build-up of acid sulphate soils, and how to remediate affected systems. The tool will be tested across different inland wetland regions of Australia affected and potentially affected by this problem to see if it can be applied as a national model. December 2010
