Murray-Darling Basin Environmental Water Knowledge and Research Project — Synthesis Report

•The Murray–Darling Basin Environmental Water Knowledge and Research Project (MDB EWKR) was a five-year project funded by the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office in the Department of the Environment and Energy

•Research focused on four thematic areas, which were identified by water managers as high priority knowledge gaps. These were fish, waterbirds, vegetation and food webs

•Reviews, synthesis, models, experiments and field studies were undertaken to better understand processes in the Murray Darling Basin (Basin)

•The information is provided in this report for both scientists and managers as EWKR has conducted ground-breaking research that improves understanding of what we know and what remains to be discovered within each theme
