Most river management works are undertaken by statutory river management authorities which receive funding through the Office of Water Resources. The Department recognizes its responsibility to ensure that stream works take adequate steps to protect or enhance the aquatic and streamside environment. This report is one in a series prepared for the Standing Committee on Rivers and Catchments to assist government agencies and other authorities involved in river management. It provides a basic introduction to river morphology and ecology and describes the environmental effects of river management works. It also brings together a number of case studies and suggests ways in which major types of river management works should be carried out to protect stream environments. Horrie Poussard Convenor Standing Committee on Rivers and Catchments GUIDELINES Introduction to River Morphology and Ecology When Europeans settled in Victoria less than River morphology two centuries ago, these natural instabilities were This introduction to river morphology briefly regarded as incompatible with the way the land was describes and explains the processes which have to be used. -

Barwon-Darling River System
Assessment of environmental water requirements for the Northern Basin review: Barwon-Darling river system DRAFT ''Near to final' draft for independent review - 2 May 2016 'Near to final' draft for independent review - 2 May 2016 Executive summary The Basin Plan provides a framework for the management of the water resources of the Murray- Darling Basin. The objectives of the Basin Plan include to protect and restore water-dependent ecosystems and functions, with the aim of achieving a healthy working Murray-Darling Basin. Prior to the making of the Basin Plan in 2012, the environmental water requirements of 24 large environmental assets (known as umbrella environmental assets) across the Murray-Darling Basin were assessed. These assessments, along with information from other disciplines, were used as part of the implementation of the peer reviewed Environmentally Sustainable Level of Take method to inform the setting of long-term average Sustainable Diversion Limits in the Basin Plan. At the time of the making of the Basin Plan, it was decided that there would be a review into aspects of the Basin Plan in the northern Basin. The Northern Basin review includes research and investigations in social and economic analysis, hydrological modelling, and environmental science, supported by stakeholder engagement. The review is re-applying the established Environmentally Sustainable Level of Take method. This review has gathered new data and knowledge from a range of disciplines including environmental science. The review may lead to the re-setting of the Sustainable Diversion Limits for the northern Basin. The environmental science program within the Northern Basin review focused on relationships between river flows and the ecological responses of key flora and fauna (particularly fish and waterbirds) as well as broader ecological functions. -

Risk-Based Assessment of Ecosystem Protection in Ambient Waters
GUIDELINE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT RISK-BASED ASSESSMENT OF ECOSYSTEM PROTECTION IN AMBIENT WATERS GUIDELINE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT RISK-BASED ASSESSMENT OF ECOSYSTEM PROTECTION IN AMBIENT WATERS EPA Victoria 40 City Road, Southbank Victoria 3006 AUSTRALIA October 2004 Publication 961 ISBN 0 7306 7644 7 © EPA Victoria, 2004 The delivery of this guideline was assisted by funding from the joint Commonwealth and State partnership for the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality and also the collaboration of North Central and Corangamite Catchment Management Authorities on the guideline case studies. Foreword State environment protection policies (SEPPs) aim to safeguard the environment. Policies express the community’s expectations, needs and priorities for using and protecting the environment. The SEPP (Waters of Victoria) (WoV) has provided significant steps forward in the management and protection of our aquatic ecosystems. A key part of this is the adoption of a risk-based approach to the policy environmental quality objectives. This is a relatively new approach reflecting current scientific knowledge and direction. The increasing adoption of risk-based methods by environmental agencies and resource managers has evolved from the need to develop transparent processes that better deal with the complexity and variability of aquatic ecosystems. This guideline has been produced to provide support to catchment management authorities, coastal boards, water authorities and other resource managers in the implementation of -
