Murray‒Darling Basin Environmental Water Knowledge and Research Project — Mid-year progress report for July – December 2018

The Murray–Darling Basin (MDB) Environmental Water Knowledge and Research (EWKR) project is a five year (2014 - 2019), $10 million project being undertaken by the Centre for Freshwater Ecosystems (formerly Murray–Darling Freshwater Research Centre) in collaboration with scientists from other research organisations to improve the science available to support environmental water management, and thereby contribute to achieving Basin Plan objectives.

The MDB EWKR team collaborated with water managers, environmental asset managers, water planners and relevant community groups to identify research priorities and undertake research targeted at addressing those priorities. The client for the project is the Department of the Environment and Energy (DoEE), Commonwealth Environmental Water Office (CEWO).

The purpose of this Mid-year Progress Report is to document project progress as required by 5.3 of Schedule 2 of the Funding Agreement for the period 1 July 2018 to 31 December 2018.
