Summary

The aim of this project is to identify knowledge gaps for best management practices in the Lower Balonne system by determining what data sets and scientific information are available.  The Lower Balonne system is under considerable pressure for competing water demands between Queensland and NSW cotton irrigators, graziers and the floodplain environment (including Narran Lakes).
