The most significant environmental challenges facing Australia include ensuring sustainable management of our water resources and conservation of both terrestrial and marine biodiversity, particularly in the face of our changing climate and land-use. The new instruments will accelerate progress across a number of projects aimed at understanding the development of groundwater resources, the relative dependency of ecosystems on groundwater versus soil and surface water, and an assessment of the likely impacts of altered hydrology, especially dewatering and salinisation, on ecosystems. In addition, they will also be used to extend our knowledge of climate variability in the recent past and increase understanding of critical marine resources.

澳大利亚面临的最重大的环境挑战包括确保可持续地管理我们的水资源和保护陆地和海洋生物多样性，特别是在我们面临气候和土地使用不断变化的情况下。 这些新工具将加快一系列项目的进展，这些项目旨在了解地下水资源的开发、生态系统对地下水与土壤和地表水的相对依赖性，以及评估水文变化，特别是脱水和盐碱化对生态系统的可能影响。此外，它们还将用于扩大我们对最近气候变化的了解，并增加对重要海洋资源的了解。
