The Surface Water Science team developed an eDNA assay and method allowing for the detection of the endangered giant dragonfly in upland swamp discharges.
Our latest research prioritises flow-dependent stream frog species that can be used to monitor the environmental outcomes of water management rules and policies aimed at protecting flowing habitats.
The Surface Water Science team has recently published its annual state-wide water quality monitoring reports for 2022-2023.
In September 2023, the Surface Water Science team installed monitoring equipment and collected data in the weir pools of the Darling-Baaka River to understand how flow velocities effect thermal and dissolved oxygen stratification.
