| Recent Event The Low-risk Climate Change Adaptation Options technical workshop Climate change is expected to have major impact on the health of rivers in South Eastern Australia. So far the emphasis, particularly in the Murray Darling Basin, seems to have been on environmental flows as a means of keeping our rivers healthy but what other options are there and are they practical and cost-effective? With this question in mind, about 25 scientific experts, representatives from the three Catchment Management Authorities where the options are to be tested, the Murray Darling Basin Authority, and government agencies attended a workshop hosted by the Institute for Land, Water and Society at the Lake Hume Resort, May 7 to 9. The workshop was coordinated by Ms Lukasiewicz , a post-doctoral research fellow with ILWS working on research project funded by the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility called ‘Identifying low risk climate change mitigation and adaptation in catchment management while avoiding unintended consequences.' |
