- investigate the scientific and management implications of the Ecological Limits of Hydrologic Alteration framework for regional environmental flow assessment
- research modelling of low flows and ways to improve information on flow related ecology
- complete a national waterbird survey of major wetlands in Australia, assess long term changes in waterbird numbers in eastern Australia and establish a national waterbird database.
