Poster from MD-WERP Research Program 2023 Science Symposium
Floodplain wetlands serve as essential habitat for flora and fauna throughout the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB). Inundation is a
primary driver of floodplain wetland habitat, however flow regulation and climate change has resulted in a disconnect
between rivers and their floodplain, reducing aquatic habitat availability. To predict how changes in flow may alter floodplain
wetland inundation the aims of project 11.3 are to:
-
Map the spatial distribution of inundated floodplain aquatic habitat at the whole of Basin scale.
-
Develop a spatial time series of floodplain inundation across the Basin.
-
Develop relationships between floodplain inundation and river flow and rainfall.
-
Provide scenario evaluations of future inundation under different flow and climate regimes.
