Water for Wetlands is Water for Life

Report from the Wetlands Workshops - June 2010

The Inland Rivers Network has just published a report of the Wetlands Workshops, held between March and June 2010, which focused on understanding the values of wetlands in the Murray Darling Basin. These workshops were part of the 'Water for Wetlands is Water for Life' project that was developed with financial support from the NSW Environmental Trust.

Workshops were held across the state in the Central West (Coonamble and Nyngan), Lachlan (Lake Cargelligo and Booligal) and Namoi (Boggabri) catchment areas, with a final workshop held in Sydney. Much was shared and learnt about important local wetland areas and associated management issues.

The High Conservation Value freshwater areas that were focused on in the workshops were the Wingadee Wetlands on the Castlereagh River system, the Crooked Creek-Talga system on the Macquarie-Bogan River Floodplain, Lake Cargelligo and Booligal Wetlands in the Lachaln and Barbers Lagoon outside of Boggabri in the Namoi.
