  • Submission: Inquiry Into Climate Change and the Australian
    September 2008 NSW Submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Inquiry into water management in the Coorong and Lower Lakes NSW Water Legislation The management of the surface water and groundwater resources of NSW, including the allocation of water entitlements, is undertaken under the Water Act, 1912 and the Water Management Act 2000. The NSW Government is progressively transitioning water management from the Water Act 1912 to the Water Management Act 2000. The vast majority of water extraction in the NSW portion of the Murray-Darling Basin is covered by statutory water sharing plans under the Water Management Act 2000. The legislation and rules in the water sharing plans provide the framework for the implementation of the COAG-agreed water reforms, including: • the provision of water entitlements specifically for the environment; • the separation of water entitlements from land; and • clearly identified tradeable water entitlements. The priority for water sharing under the legislation is: Priority 1 Water for the environment and basic landholder rights (e.g. domestic and stock rights); Priority 2 Town water supply, domestic and stock and major utility licences (e.g. power generation, major urban water supply); Priority 3 High security licences (e.g. for permanent plantings); Priority 4 General security or unregulated river licences (e.g. for irrigation of annual crops); and Priority 5 Supplementary licences (e.g. to access high flows). However, in times of severe water shortage the priority of water for domestic purposes (i.e. either under a basic landholder right or licence) is elevated above the environment.

  • Menindee Lakes, the Lower Darling River and Darling Anabranch)
    THE LIVING MURRAY Information Paper No. 10 IPTLM0010 Health of the River Murray Menindee Lakes, the Lower Darling River and Darling Anabranch) Contents Environmental assets within the river zone Current condition of environmental assets Reasons why some environmental assets have declined in value What can be done to restore environmental values? Existing environmental flows initiatives The system-wide perspective References Introductory Note Please note: The contents of this publication do not purport to represent the position of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission. The intention of this paper is to inform discussion for the improvement of the management of the Basin’s natural resources. 2 Environmental assets within the river zone The lower Darling River system is located at the downstream end of the River Murray system in NSW and is marked by Wentworth to the south and Menindee to the north. It encompasses the Menindee Lakes system, the Darling River below Menindee and the Great Anabranch of the Darling River (referred to hereafter as the Darling Anabranch) and associated lakes. These are iconic riverine and lake systems within the Murray-Darling Basin. In addition, a vital tributary and operating system feeds the lower River Murray. The climate of the area is semi-arid with an annual average rainfall of 200 mm at Menindee (Auld and Denham 2001) and a high potential annual evaporation of 2,335 mm (Westbrooke et al. 2001). It is hot in summer (5–46oC) and mild to cold in winter (-5–26oC). In particular, the lower Darling River system is characterised by clusters of large floodplain lakes, 103 to 15,900 ha in size, located at Menindee and along the Darling Anabranch.

  • Fish of Themenindee Lakes
    Fish of the Menindee Lakes Cooperative Research Centre for Freshwater Ecology The Menindee Lakes in far-western NSW are a social, economic and environmental asset to the local community and to Australia as a whole. They represent an important breeding ground for native birds and fish and are one of the largest water storages in the Murray-Darling Basin. Well known by anglers for good fishing, the Menindee Lakes support diverse and abundant fish communities. While the most widely recognised fish in the lakes are the Golden Perch, Murray Cod and Carp, the lakes also maintain healthy populations of other native species. These species are valuable from both a diversity point of view and as food for the larger fish and the many fish-eating birds that live and breed around the lakes. We need to understand the ecology of the fish if we are to protect the biodiversity and other values of the Menindee Lakes. Improving our understanding of the fish in the region will help managers maintain the Menindee Lakes populations of native species while, hopefully, reducing the populations of introduced pests such as Carp and Gambusia. Golden Perch (Macquaria ambigua) Golden Perch are found throughout the Murray Darling Basin except at high- er altitudes, and are an important angling species. Upstream migration by adult fish is linked to spawning and is triggered by high flows from September to December. The return downstream occurs in low flows in June and July. Golden Perch mainly occur in warm, turbid, slow-flowing streams and rivers and flood plain lakes. Their colour can vary from bronze through yellow to white depending on the colour of the water.

  • 1 Chapter 1: Introduction
    Introduction 1 1 Chapter 1: Introduction Little is known about the vegetation dynamics of ephemeral wetlands and floodplains and the role of the seed bank in these systems (with the exception of Brock and Rogers (1998) and Capon (2003; 2005)). The majority of our knowledge of wetland and floodplain ecosystems is focussed on well-watered temperate northern hemisphere systems and tropical systems (e.g. van der Valk 1981; Leck and Simpson 1987; Junk et al. 1989). In Australia, the majority of the research into wetlands and floodplains has been undertaken on seasonal wetlands (e.g. Britton and Brock 1994; Casanova and Brock 1999b; Nicol et al. 2003), rivers with seasonal flow regimes (e.g. Pettit and Froend 2001a; 2001b; Pettit et al. 2001) and the impact of altered flow regimes in the River Murray system (e.g. Walker et al. 1994; Nielsen and Chick 1997). This study provides an insight into the vegetation dynamics of a regulated ephemeral system (the Menindee Lakes) and the role of the seed bank plays in that system. 1.1 The Seed Bank The seed bank is defined as the reserves of viable seed present in and on the soil surface (Roberts 1981) and associated litter (Simpson et al. 1989), capable of replacing adult plants (Baker 1989). The size of the seed bank, the contribution made to it by the different species and patterns of seed distribution reflect the seed production mainly by the resident plant community; although, inputs of seed from distant sources may also contribute (Simpson et al. 1989). In addition, the seed bank contains not only seeds from the preceding year but may contain seeds from many previous years (Roberts 1981); especially species that form long-term persistent seed banks (Thompson and Grime 1979).

Best practice and emerging technology for flood mitigation and monitoring infrastructure including river gauges b. Management of levees in Victoria, including ownership, responsibility and maintenance on both public and private land c. Waterways management, including the nature and extent of vegetation clearing activities within waterways and their general maintenance d.

Although this infrastructure has not been designed to specifically mitigate floods, significant mitigation can occur as headwater storages fill and spill. The operation of individual structures must firstly safeguard the security of that structure and secondly fulfil its primary function of securing water supply.
