Wetlands Assessment & Prioritisation Study

Namoi CMA commissioned a study into the assessment and prioritisation of wetlands within the Namoi Catchment.

For the purposes of this project, a wetland was defined as any area containing wetland-dependent vegetation i.e. vegetation that is reliant on inundation, either permanent or periodic.

The project comprised several related components including:
• comprehensive mapping of individual wetlands from satellite imagery
• hydrological modelling/wetland inundation assessment
• development and application of a prioritisation framework
• field surveys of target wetlands
• wetland condition assessment
• development of a monitoring framework
• development of a wetland management framework and
• compilation of a wetland dependent vegetation inventory.
