Abstract
"This report outlines one of a series of projects commissioned by Environment Australia to examine groundwater dependence and environmental flow requirements of the Daly River. In particular, this report examines the spatial and temporal patterns of water use by riparian vegetation along the Daly River. While water use requirements and groundwater dependence have been examined in a number of ecosystems around Australia, we believe that this is the first attempt to quantify the sources and water use requirements of riparian vegetation in tropical Australia for consideration in assessing the environmental flow requirements of riparian vegetation. Spatial and temporal patterns of water use were examined in Eucalyptus bella and Melaleuca argentea at three locations along the river; Dorisvale crossing, Oolloo and at the confluence of the Douglas and Daly Rivers." - Executive summary,
