Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Environment, Conservation and Natural Resources Group, 2005?
This analysis has been compiled to inform the Daly Region Community Reference Group through its Expert Reference Group of the gaps in scientific knowledge in the Daly River. Key research issues are discussed under five broad themes:1) River and Wetland Health, 2) Estuarine Health, 3) Groundwater Surface Water Interactions, 4) Conservation and Biodiversity and 5) Soil Management. It provides an integrated overview and assists in setting priorities for the direction of further research for regional natural resource planning and management. The report has large tables that are divided into zones which display the current knowledge, the desirable state of knowledge, and the cost of achieving each goal.
