"Observations suggest that there has been considerable siltation in the estuary since 1880, and there are indications that there are instabilities in the channel plan form. The question as to whether these instabilities are driven by hydrological or anthropogenic influences from previous limited agricultural development is crucial to the decision on future development and how it should be managed. A numerical model of the hydrodynamics and morphology of the Daly River is being constructed to help determine the transport and fate of sediments on the floodplain and in the channel. This paper presents an overview of some model approaches being applied to the Daly River."
