We are taking measurements to assess plant condition, such as tree size, tree canopy health and germination of young trees. We will compare different parts of the river and floodplain network as well as water table levels to determine which conditions provide the best habitat to support healthy vegetation.

We are working together with researchers from universities, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, Energy and Science, the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office and Local Land Services.

Understanding how much water is needed to protect plant communities by monitoring plant health, will ensure the management of water in NSW results in a sustainable environment for the future.
