Between August 2002 and January 2006 environmental flows were released from the Mowamba River, a tributary below the Jindabyne Dam (Fig 1), to improve the ecological condition of the Snowy River. Although invertebrate communities were expected to recover via drift, the apparent lack of recovery2 has raised concern over the role of a weir on the Mowamba River acting as a barrier to the downstream migration of invertebrate fauna during environmental flows.
