Diversity in a piped system

To assess the biodiversity values of stock water points in the Wimmera Mallee Channel/Dam region and the Northern Mallee Pipeline region.To determine whether biodiversity and the environmental values of open water can be maintained in a farming landscape through the use of purpose-built water points for wildlife.To develop guidelines for farmers and industry on the use of water points for best management of wildlife within a piped water delivery system.

本数据集旨在达成以下三项研究目标：其一，评估威默拉-马利渠/坝区（Wimmera Mallee Channel/Dam region）与北部马利管道区（Northern Mallee Pipeline region）内牲畜饮水点的生物多样性价值；其二，探究在农业景观中，通过布设野生动物专用饮水点，能否维持开放水域的生物多样性与环境价值；其三，为农户及相关行业制定指南，以规范输水管道系统内饮水点的使用，实现野生动物的最佳管理。
