Brief description Quantifying indirect human impacts on wetland environmental water needs. This project aims to resolve a policy impasse between human and environmental needs for water that has led to a moratorium precluding all new water resource development. The research will generate new quantitative understanding of the magnitude of impacts from human agricultural activities on the environmental water needs of threatened wetlands. Expected outcomes include the creation of flexible high-confidence water sharing rules that will protect the environment without unnecessarily restricting human users of water. By maximising the volumes of water available to support increased agricultural productivity and greater water security, this should provide significant economic and social benefits without unduly impacting the environment.
