Oolloo Crossing and Theyona are sites on the Daly River where river water level and flow have been recorded. In 2004 it was established that a minimum environmental flow of 12 m3/s should be maintained at Oolloo Crossing on the Daly River in order to protect aquatic flora and fauna and to ensure that the water requirements of riparian vegetation could be supplied at times of extreme water stress (Erskine et al. 2004). Erskine et al. (2004) also specified that at least 80% of streamflow above this threshold should be protected for the environment, and when discharge falls below the threshold, 92% of streamflow must be maintained for the environment.,
