I would also like to 145 river reaches and wetlands.

We were able to water more sites this year because we had access to more water, including environmental water carried over, water purchased with our partners and increased availability of water from the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH). We are continuing to improve our processes and address Denis Flett knowledge gaps. Flexible and adaptive environmental water management is already contributing to the improved Chairperson environmental health of waterways. We are able to use environmental water where and when it is most needed. 1 The environmental watering program scoped 122 priority watering actions for 2012-13. 2 809,515 ML was delivered from VEWH accounts in 2013-14 (compared to 437,242 ML in 2012-13).
