FLOWS Assessed River Reaches

The FLOWS method is used to determine environmental water requirements for rivers and streams in Victoria. It was developed by SKM, the Cooperative Research Centre for Freshwater Ecology, Freshwater Ecology (NRE) and Lloyd Environmental Consultants (2002) and is used primarily for Stream Flow Management Plans and some Bulk Entitlements. It is designed to assess the water requirements for the instream environment and overbank flows for floodplain wetting, it is not applicable to watering regimes for large wetlands or for estuaries.
