Abstract

The Murrumbidgee River and wetlands provide important areas for native plants and animals to live. This includes threatened animals such as the trout cod, Murray cod, southern bell frog and fishing bat. The Lower Murrumbidgee floodplain includes some of the largest lignum wetlands in New South Wa les. It is an important breeding site for many native birds, such as strawnecked ibis. The Yanco Creek system connects the Murrumbidgee River with the Edward/Kolety River. It includes flows from irrigation drainage systems, and from Billabong Creek. Water for the environment is used to protect and restore the environment of the Murray-Darling Basin. The Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) monitors the use of its water. The CEWH’s science program, Flow
Monitoring, Evaluation and Research (Flow-MER) Program is a key part of this approach. Charles Sturt University leads the Murrumbidgee Flow-MER project. Information about this project can be found by scanning the QR code below.
Charles Sturt University and Ashleigh Pengelly worked together to create this calendar. Ashleigh is an Aboriginal artist living and creating on Wiradjuri Country and created the artworks and designs in this calendar.
We acknowledge the Wiradjuri, Nari Nari and Muthi Muthi peoples, and the Wamba Wamba, Bpangerang and Barapa Barapa peoples, the Traditional Owners and custodians of the Country and environments represented in this calendar.
