Australian River Management Guidelines

Australian River Management Guidelines provide a framework for sustainably managing river systems, balancing ecological health, water needs, and flood risks. They emphasize protecting water quality, maintaining aquatic habitats, and ensuring safe waterways for users. The guidelines support responsible planning, development, and conservation efforts, encouraging collaboration among government agencies, communities, and stakeholders. By integrating scientific research and environmental considerations, they aim to promote resilient river ecosystems that support biodiversity, agriculture, industry, and recreation, while reducing the impacts of human activities and climate change. Overall, they ensure rivers are managed responsibly for present and future generations.
