Updating the science for the Georgina and Diamantina water plan

Since the Georgina and Diamantina water plan was made in 2004, significant new scientific information has been collected on the water requirements of ecosystems. The ability to monitor stream flows and groundwater levels has also improved.

New knowledge comes from:

  • ecological assessments
  • social and economic assessments
  • engagement with First Nations peoples
  • climate change assessments.

This information will be used to update the water plan.

Our areas of focus for water planning science are arranged across 8 themes which are all influenced by climate change and uncertainty. These themes are detailed in our Water planning science plan (PDF, 10.1MB) and our storymap.
