Freshwater is a critical resource in Australia, but there is a perception that freshwater running to the sea is wasted. Australia's estuaries are of great importance - economically, socially and environmentally. Estuaries provide habitat for unique and endangered animals and plants, support valuable fisheries, and have enormous recreational value, particularly in regional communities. Our lack of understanding about the effects of freshwater flows on estuarine productivity impedes decision making on the allocation of water to sustain healthy estuaries. The health of Australia's estuaries and sustainability of their resources, particularly fisheries, depend on understanding their freshwater requirements and securing environmental flows.

淡水在澳大利亚是一种关键资源，但有一种看法认为，流入大海的淡水是浪费的。澳大利亚的河口在经济、社会和环境方面都非常重要。河口为独特和濒危的动植物提供栖息地，支持有价值的渔业，并具有巨大的娱乐价值，特别是在区域社区。我们对淡水流动对河口生产力的影响缺乏了解，阻碍了为维持健康河口而分配水的决策。澳大利亚河口的健康和资源的可持续性，特别是渔业，取决于了解其淡水需求和确保环境流动。
