Shoalhaven River Environmental Flows
I conducted research and coordinated Scientific Advisory Panel advice to compile, edit and publish two major reports for the 2005-06 Shoalhaven River Water Supply Transfers and Environmental Flows project, and also coordinated the estuary investigation component of the project.
The major project reports were Determining and managing environmental flows for the Shoalhaven River, Report 1 – Environmental Flows Knowledge Review and Determining and managing environmental flows for the Shoalhaven River, Report 2 – Environmental Flows Investigations.
For the estuary investigation component of the project, I conducted research, identified best practice, and prepared the Discussion Paper Environmental water requirements for the Shoalhaven River estuary.
From the knowledge I gained while working on the Shoalhaven River Water Supply Transfers and Environmental Flows project, I have also written the following articles:
- Queensland floods: information, history and knowledge.
- Queensland floods: what do history and river hydrology tell us?
- Climate knowledge ignorance has again seen communities “surprised” by expected floods (published in RealKM Magazine).
