Growing a Healthy Future for the Lower Lakes Growing a healthy future for the Lower Lakes Lower Lakes Bioremediation and Revegetation Project | December 2009 Department for Environment and Heritage www.environment.sa.gov.au The Lower Lakes Bioremediation and Revegetation Project is about getting the local community and government working together to help rehabilitate this wetland of international importance. A project is underway in the Lower Lakes and Coorong region to tackle some of the urgent environmental problems, such as acidification and soil erosion, due to low river flows and unprecedented low lake water levels. The current situation The Murray-Darling Basin is experiencing the worst drought since records began in 1891. Record low inflows to the River Murray through drought and over-allocation are having a significant social, cultural, economic and environmental impact on the Lower Lakes and Coorong region – a South Australian treasure of international significance. Water levels are dropping, salinity levels are increasing and soils on the drying lakebeds and wetlands are acidifying. This situation is unprecedented. Future predictions indicate that South Australia’s climate will be more variable. As a result, we must find ways to adapt to a future of reduced water availability – and work towards a future of less reliance on the River Murray, particularly for domestic water supply. The South Australian Government is working with local communities and scientists, technical experts and engineers to: • address immediate drought response issues • plan for worst-case scenarios • develop long-term sustainable solutions. The risks Based on water levels at March 2009, over 20,000 hectares of acid sulfate soils were exposed in Lake Alexandrina and Lake Albert resulting in acidic soils forming over much of the dried out lakebeds. This situation is unprecedented. When potential acid sulfate soils are exposed, a series of chemical reactions occur that generate large quantities of sulfuric acid. In extreme cases, this acidification can cause ecological collapse, killing plants and animals and rendering the water unsuitable for any purpose. Salinity levels are also increasing throughout the region, and in some areas the salinity levels are now too high for the water to be used for drinking, livestock or even irrigation. If salinity levels continue to rise, freshwater fish and other aquatic animals and plants will struggle to survive. Photo: Property at Poltalloch, Lake Alexandrina where aerial seeding was carried out in autumn 2009 The project at a glance The Lower Lakes Bioremediation and Revegetation Project is about getting the local community and government working together to address some of the serious environmental issues this internationally recognised wetland is facing, such as acidification and soil erosion. Revegetation techniques, like planting shallow-rooted cover crops, can help address the impacts of soil erosion and assist natural bioremediation to remove acid in sediments and water. The 2-year project has been made possible thanks to $10 million funding from the Australian Government, and support from the South Australian Department for Environment and Heritage. This funding is in addition to the $200 million that the Australian Government will provide to South Australia to address environmental problems facing the region as part of the South Australian Government’s $610 million Murray Futures program. The program includes developing a long-term plan to secure a healthy, sustainable future for the region. The Department for Environment and Heritage is leading the project, in partnership with: • Milang Progress Association • Goolwa to Wellington Local Action Planning Group • Coorong District Local Action Planning Committee • Ngarrindjeri Regional Authority • Ngarrindjeri Ruwe Contracting • Murray Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board • Rural Solutions SA. Photo: Results of aerial seeding undertaken on a previously exposed lakebed on Lake Alexandrina Why is this project important? The combined impact of low flows and reduced water quality is affecting the range of plants and animals that can live in the Coorong and Lower Lakes region. As water levels continue to drop, exposing more soils in the region, soil erosion is also a significant problem. It can expose new acid sulfate soils and remove nutrients from the soil, which are needed by plants. Planting vegetation over wide areas of exposed soil will help minimise the effects of wind erosion, and could also reduce the risk of acid sulfate soils in the area. The Bioremediation and Revegetation project aims to address some of these problems by: • providing ecosystem stability and resilience • stabilising sand, dust and soil movement • helping manage acid sulfate soils through bioremediation • improving biodiversity.

  • Chapter 3: Water and Biodiversity in South Australia
    3 Water and biodiversity in South Australia 3.1 As the driest state in the driest inhabited continent in the world,1 South Australia received considerable attention at the height of the drought experienced by southeastern Australia from 1997 to 2009, the worst drought in the 110-year instrumental record.2 The impact on the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth (CLLMM) region, in particular, was a major focal point. Located at the downstream end of the Murray–Darling River system, there was concern that the drought, combined with the over-allocation of water resources upstream, had severely compromised the region’s internationally significant biodiversity. 3.2 Some of the environmental impacts of the drought have abated since 2009. However, many of the challenges for the region remain, and these were part of the focus of the Committee’s site inspections in the CLLMM region on 16 May 2012. 3.3 Apart from this focus, the Committee was interested to see the development of innovative practices for the sustainable use of water resources and the protection of biodiversity assets. On 17 May 2012, the Committee inspected the constructed Greenfields Wetlands, which contribute to addressing concerns about the availability of water from the River Murray and the potential ecological impacts of stormwater run-off on marine ecosystems. 1 Government of South Australia, ‘Importance of water’, <http://www.sa.gov.au/subject/Water,+energy+and+environment/Water/Water+resources +in+SA/Importance+of+water> viewed 9 October 2012. 2 B Timbal, ‘The continuing decline in South-East Australian rainfall: update to May 2009’ in PA Sandery, T Leeuwenburg, G Wang and AJ Hollis (eds), CAWCR Research Letters, issue 2, July 2009, Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, Melbourne, 2009, pp.
