This project developed multi-scale remote sensing techniques to determine the location, extent and hydrological function of wetlands in the Namoi catchment.

Diminishing water supply, changing weather patterns and pressure to enhance environmental flows are making it imperative to optimise water use efficiency (WUE) on cotton/grain farming systems.

This project demonstrates one approach to coordinating and analysing hydrogeological data to help with the evaluation of catchment water management issues.
