Sharing knowledge on the Chowilla Floodplain – River Murray & Mallee Aboriginal Corporation Rangers

The 2022-23 River Murray flood event, peaking at 185,860 megalitres per day (ML/day) at the SA border on 22 December 2022, inundated the Chowilla Floodplain to an extent not seen since 1956. A range of monitoring activities were undertaken during this time to capture the ecological responses to this significant event, including fish and tadpole monitoring in partnership with the River Murray and Mallee Aboriginal Corporation (RMMAC) Rangers.
