Murray Wetlands

The Murray Wetlands Working Group (MWWG)’s innovative wetland rehabilitation program was chosen for successfully delivering 75,000 Ml of water to more than 200 wetlands covering 71,000 ha across two catchments. A distinct feature of the project is that “a number of local governments, industry organisations and community groups in The Murray and Lower Murray-Darling catchments worked together to rehabilitate wetlands on private properties which are often overlooked yet are vital to landscape management”, said Professor Paul Greenfield, AO, Chair of the Riverprize judging panel.
