NORTHERN BASIN CONNECTIVITY

The Northern Basin Connectivity Program is progressing connectivity improvements identified as part of the Western Regional Water Strategy. This includes analysis to inform potential changes to water sharing plan flow targets (triggers) to improve water flows across the connected catchments of the northern NSW Murray-Darling Basin at important times to achieve the following outcomes:

• Protection - Protect the first flush of water after an extended dry period to protect critical human and environmental needs and support recovery post droughts

• Flows - Reduce the impact of cease-to-flow periods and improve low-flow connectivity

• Water Quality - Support water quality and reduce the risk of algal blooms forming

• Ecology - Support fish migration

Analysis undertaken to support this work is available in the tree structure below.
