NORTHERN BASIN CONNECTIVITY

The Northern Basin Connectivity Program is progressing connectivity improvements identified as part of the Western Regional Water Strategy. This includes analysis to inform potential changes to water sharing plan flow targets (triggers) to improve water flows across the connected catchments of the northern NSW Murray-Darling Basin at important times to achieve the following outcomes: \r\n\r\n•\t__Protection__ - Protect the first flush of water after an extended dry period to protect critical human and environmental needs and support recovery post droughts \r\n\r\n•\t__Flows__ - Reduce the impact of cease-to-flow periods and improve low-flow connectivity \r\n\r\n•\t__Water Quality__ - Support water quality and reduce the risk of algal blooms forming \r\n\r\n•\t__Ecology__ - Support fish migration \r\n \r\nAnalysis undertaken to support this work is available in the tree structure below. \r\nNB: For more information about the Departments Northern Basin Connectivity Program, please visit: https://www.dpie.nsw.gov.au/water/our-work/projects-and-programs/northern-basin-connectivity-program\r\n\r\n-----------------------------------\r\n\r\nNote: If you would like to ask a question, make any suggestions, or tell us how you are using this dataset, please visit the [NSW Water Hub which has an online forum](https://water-hub.seed.nsw.gov.au/thread/search) you can join.

北流域连通性计划（Northern Basin Connectivity Program）正推进作为西部区域水战略组成部分所确定的连通性提升工作。该工作包含为水共享方案流量目标（触发阈值，triggers）的潜在调整提供决策依据的分析，以在关键时段改善新南威尔士州北部墨累-达令盆地（Murray-Darling Basin）各连通集水区的水流情况，进而实现以下目标：
• 保护（Protection）：保障长期干旱时段后的首轮径流，以满足关键的人类与环境用水需求，并支撑干旱灾后的生态恢复
• 流量保障（Flows）：降低断流时段的影响，提升枯水期连通性
• 水质保障（Water Quality）：改善水质状况，降低藻类水华暴发的风险
• 生态保护（Ecology）：助力鱼类洄游

为支撑该工作所开展的分析内容已以如下树形结构呈现。
