Barmah Forest 2005 floodplain watering The objectives of this project are to: 1)Monitor the impact of forest watering on water quality and zooplankton. 2)Quantify the exchange of material. 3)Calibrate the blackwater model developed for the Barmah Forest.

Broken Creek Ecological Model The aim of this project is to investigate the factors that affect the growth and proliferation of Azolla and the subsequent effects on water quality and health of Broken Creek.

Fish spawning and recruitment The overall aim of the project is to investigate the links between managed flows, the timing of fish spawning, and the levels of subsequent juvenile recruitment into riverine fish populations in several regions of the Murray-Darling Basin - southern (Ovens and Goulburn rivers), lower (Lindsay River and Mullaroo Creek) and northern (Mole and Dumaresq rivers).

Impacts on in-stream processes This aim of this project is to determine how changes in the type and concentrations of key constituents (primarily carbon and nitrogen) alter in-stream processes.

Interactions between rivers and floodplains This project aims to advance scientific understanding and management of Australian rivers and their floodplains by assessing how variability in riverine flow across a continuum of wet-summer and wet-winter catchments generates and affects physical, chemical and biological parametres.
