Daly River
The aim of this project is to contribute to recommendations on environmental flows to ensure that they are consistent with maintaining the biota of the Daly River, given competing demands of agriculture, recreation and tourism, conservation and Aboriginal culture. Our focus is on flow, connectivity and water temperatures.

74 Table A1. Flow characteristics by month for Dorisvale gauging station (G8140067), Daly River, Northern Territory. Daily gaugings were averaged for each month. Data from months where there were less than 20 gauged days were excluded. Statistics were then calculated across years for each month. Abbreviations: Min, Minimum; Max, Maximum; SD, Standard Deviation; SE, Standard Error; CV, Coefficient of Variation; N, sample size (months).
