The Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder’s (CEWH) Science Program funds the Flow Monitoring, Evaluation and Research (Flow–MER). We acknowledge the Gomeroi/ Gamilaroi/ Kamilaroi/ Gamilaraay Peoples, the Traditional Owners of the Guwayda (Gwydir) River and surrounds. Thank you for sharing your Country and knowledge of the land, water and life with us. We pay respects to Elders…
For the last decade the CEWH has funded river and floodplain-wetland monitoring and research in the Warriku-Baaka (Warrego-Darling) Rivers and catchment (Figure 1). This work is part of the larger Flow – Monitoring, Evaluation and Research (Flow–MER) program that spans the entire Murray-Darling Basin.
The Warriku-Baaka (Warrego-Darling) Selected Area (Selected Area) is located around 80 km south-west of Bourke in northwestern NSW and is contained within the boundary of the Toorale National Park and State Conservation Area. Read about our findings over ten years here.
Barayamal are commonly recorded within both the Toorale National Park and Conservation Area and the Gwydir State Conservation Area and surrounds. Read all about these amazing birds!
Dr Ivor Growns is a Research Fellow and a member of the University of New England’s Flow-MER team. Ivor investigates how aquatic ecosystems respond to Commonwealth water for the environment delivered to the Warriku (Warrego) and Guwayda Warrambools (Gwydir Wetlands). Read about his favourite microbugs here.
The Warriku-Baaka (Warrego-Darling) Selected Area has had a lot of things happening in the 2022-23 water year, with good flows through the system, breeding of Kularku (Brolga) and lots of monitoring. Read all about it here.
