Provides a summary of emerging conservation technologies and their potential applications for the ongoing management of the Murray–Darling Basin (MDB).
Technologies were selected based on their advanced development, innovation, and increasing uptake in the fields of conservation biology and natural resource management.
This report is targeted towards water managers of natural areas within the Basin seeking to further develop their monitoring toolkit by incorporating cutting-edge technology and research.
Key findings/ recommendations
-
The technologies have been summarised into 3 main areas: sensors, data analysis, and models.
-
Opportunities for managing and sharing the large data sets generated by these technologies are also explored.
-
The technologies described in the report present exciting potential pathways towards monitoring techniques that are high sensitivity, high resolution, automated, and in many cases relatively low cost.
-
These technologies can be applied at broad spatial and temporal scales within the MBD to increase the power of monitoring efforts and inform future management initiatives working towards improved water quality and environmental condition.
