Spring is a time for renewal & we are doing our bit to boost native fish breeding, green up vegetation & support waterbirds by providing a spring pulse to the Macquarie Marshes with @NSWDCCEEW_Water.
Once complete the pulse will have delivered about 70 gigalitres of water!

How do we assess the success of water for the environment?
We use our science program, @FlowMERprogram. Read here about a new method involving drones and laser pulses to measure the height and shape of vegetation.

Environmental water is a key support for threatened species so it was on our radar to participate in the annual Threatened Species Bake Off.
CEWH, Dr Simon Banks, and his family baked this creative cake.
Can you guess what it is?........
It is a Grassland earless dragon!

Renmark Irrigation Trust have recorded Australian Shelducks at a key environmental watering site near Renmark. CEWH has supported this environmental water delivery.
Instead of saying when the “rubber hits the road”, we say when the “environmental water flows in the river”.

For those in South Australia you have one day left to contribute to the spring FrogWatch SA Seasonal Census!
This is citizen science at its froggy best. Listen, record, submit and help turn frog calls into valuable data for conservation. Hop to it!

While the work of the CEWH is focused on fresh water in the Murray–Darling Basin, our science program @FlowMERprogram monitors both fresh and salt water native fish.

Thanks North East CMA – we couldn’t count the number of environmental water-supported species in this video!
We’re delighted to see the great outcomes at Ryan’s lagoon as a result of water for the environment.

Where & when does water for the environment move through the Murray–Darling Basin?
It’s easy to find out using our water use map.
Watch out for a “spring flow” (a pulse of environmental flow into a river or wetland) on the way in some locations!

🌞Sunshine, 💧water and 🦠bugs – a good recipe for fun and learning!
CEWH and @FlowMERprogram providers (@UNSW, @UniNewEngland, @Griffith_SciEnv and @latrobe) had a full three days at Agquip at Gunnedah last week.
Great to see learning in action.

We are looking forward to spirited discussions, innovation focused conversation and much more at the @MurrayDarlingAs annual conference today!
We're keen to see delegates at our CEWH booth and participating in workshops and panels.

A final post for National Science Week today.
Our science program, @FlowMERprogram, assesses how water for the environment supports native fish.
The health of iconic species such as Murray cod is a good indicator of the overall condition of Basin rivers. flow-mer.org.au/basin-themes…
