The study area was the floodplain of the Murray River and its anabranches, including the Edward-Wakool system, from below Hume Dam to the upper end of Lake Alexandrina. The components of the study were: · Literature Review A comprehensive bibliography was compiled on the floodplain vegeta­ tion, its environment and the impact ofman's activities. The literature was reviewed and summarised. · Floristic Survey A field survey was carried out, visiting 112 sites throughout the study area and collecting vegetation data from 335 plots. Data collected were the species present, their relative abundance, the condition of the eucalypts, the amount ofeucalypt regeneration and indices ofgrazing pressure. Brief studies were made of the effects of river regulation and salinisation at specific sites. Thirty-seven plant communities were identified from a numerical analyis ofthe floristic survey data. The differences reflect environmental changes both along the river and across the floodplain. The most important factors were identified as soil salinity levels and flooding frequency.

[email protected] Key Points Regulation has caused important changes in the hydrologic regime of the Swampy Plain and Upper Murray Rivers in the reaches closest to Khancoban Dam. Field data on resistance of the banks was used in combination with BSTEM‐Dynamic to simulate bank erosion for unregulated and regulated conditions using a 32‐year time series of hourly flows. Regulation has led to changes in bank‐erosion rates with increases in the reaches closest to the dam and decreases in the reaches farthest downstream, the former related to greater flow durations that exceed erosion thresholds Abstract The Snowy Mountains Scheme provides for inter‐basin transfers of water and for hydro‐electric power generation in the upper reaches of the Murray River System. Since 1966, the magnitude, frequency and duration of discharges in the Swampy Plain and Upper Murray Rivers have been modified by the Scheme. Increases in mean‐annual flows following regulation were determined to be 127% in the upstream‐most reach on the Swampy Plain River, 68% above the confluence with the Tooma River and 16‐19% downstream at Jingellic.
