Delivering on Lower Murray Floodplain Restoration in SA
This presentation will focus on one the main projects currently happening in South Australia. The $155m South Australian floodplain restoration program aims to develop floodplain infrastructure to address the continuing decline in ecosystem health and deliver improved ecological outcomes for floodplains along the Lower River Murray in South Australia. The major focus of the proposed management actions for these sites is the construction of regulators and banks to facilitate floodplain inundation at low flows and to offset the reductions in natural flood frequency. It is an innovative project, seeking to increase the availability of water to improve ecosystem functions in a predominantly saline system. The program is fast approaching completion and operations will commence in 2020.
