Application of the River Ecosystem Management Framework to water allocation management

March 2001, Ref. TR105

The specific objectives of this study were to determine:

  • determine whether significant differences in management regimes are appropriate among different river management units
  • determine if options for general water management regimes result in consistent implications for water reliability and residual flows in rivers within a management unit.
