Abstract / Summary:

Preface

The report captures lessons learnt through more than a decade of involvement in the hydrological aspects of environmental flow projects. Whilst ecological aspects of environmental flows have received increasing attention through research and publications, the hydrological methods are often assumed to be well-established and reliable. In reality the opposite is sometimes true. There are an increasing number of hydrologists involved with environmental flow studies in Australia but few practical references to draw from.

This report is intended to address this need. It does not deal with ecological issues in detail. It focuses on the hydrological and hydraulic methods. Please use it as a reference to support your work rather than a prescriptive method.
