Research Themes
MDFRC has been working on the ecology of rivers, floodplains and wetlands, and water storages since 1986. Projects are grouped into six research themes; Water Quality and Ecological Assessment, Conservation Ecology, Education Program, Flow-related Ecological Processes, Knowledge Exchange Program, Restoration Ecology
