The purpose of this report was to provide a concise overview of the work completed for the five projects: Modelling Dry-season flows and predicting the impact of water extraction on a flagship species — the pig-nosed turtle (Carettochelys insculpta); Tree water use and sources of transpired water in riparian vegetation along the Daly River, Northern Territory; Environmental water requirements of Vallisneria nana in the Daly River, Northern Territory; Periphyton and phytoplankton response to reduced Dry season flows in the Daly River; and Inventory and risk assessment of water dependent ecosystems in the Daly Basin. This report contains concise information on five projects based on the Daly River, with possible recommendations. Background information is also provided to be able to understand the projects and the recommendations.
