More than 88 billion barrels of wastewater are produced yearly in the world from gas and oil
production. Given the rising demand for drinkable water, there is a need for advanced …

Dryland rivers are a focal point of life. Highly variable flows that underpin the ecology of
these rivers are the antithesis of requirements for regular water for irrigation. Proposals exist …

Rapidly expanding water resource development in arid and semi-arid zones of Australia
threatens the flow regime and ecological integrity of the few large dryland rivers and their …

We examined the response of nutrient concentrations to the drying and re‐flooding of
ephemeral deflation basin lakes (EDBL) in western New South Wales, Australia. As lakes …

Aquatic plant communities in arid zone wetlands underpin diverse fauna populations and
ecosystem functions yet are relatively poorly known. Erratic flooding, drying, salinity and …

A large number of permanent and temporary wetlands are associated with the lowland rivers
in south‐eastern Australia. Regulation of these rivers for irrigated agriculture has probably …

The fifth-order southern alpine Brenno River and its floodplains are severely impaired by
embankments, water abstractions and the construction of dams for hydropower generation …

This report forms part of a series of Waterlines papers designed to explore issues relating to
aquatic ecosystems in Australia and identify significant current gaps in knowledge …

Large freshwater lakes in Australia's arid zone are episodic due to highly variable inflows
from allogenic rivers. A few receive enough inflow almost yearly to be permanent, despite …

Woodland bird population declines in Australia have been attributed to various factors
including habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation. However, the influence of altered …
