The specific aims of this inventory and risk assessment were to map and store in a Geographical Information System (GIS) the area, location and extent of a range of water dependent ecosystems in the Daly basin; establish threats to these ecosystems from forecast and existing water use and land management practices and overlay this information on the GIS-based map; identify which ecosystems are most at risk and where possible provide an assessment of the extent of this risk; and provide a mapping-base describing habitats critical for other key indicator species being investigated in the Daly basin.
