However, more recently the importance of environmental flows is becoming increasingly acknowledged.
Possible reasons include low environmental flows, climate change impacts, and mining effluents, but direct links have not been established.
The dam's purpose includes environmental flows, hydro-electric power generation, irrigation, and water supply.
There is current work going on to determine and implement suitable environmental flows in the river.
The plan entailed cutting existing water allocations and increasing environmental flows.
The energy source for baroclinic instability is the potential energy in the environmental flow.
This entailed cutting existing water allocations and increasing environmental flows.
In order to preserve the health of the river systems within the murray darling system for the future, these environmental flows are nessesart.
Water is also released from the dam as environmental flows for the Shoalhaven River.
The study recommended implementing a mandatory reserve, or environmental flow.
