The unregulated rivers of the Lake Eyre Basin (LEB) provide a unique opportunity to study natural salinisation processes at multiple scales, in systems that have hydrological and biological similarities with dryland rivers in the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) and elsewhere. The rivers of the LEB maintain a high quality of ecological health despite salinity levels that can vary over two orders of magnitude with changing flow conditions. This project will study salinity processes in the unregulated rivers of LEB and identify the dynamics of stream salinity using a combination of novel tracer and hydrological measurements and modelling.

不受管制的河流的湖艾尔盆地（LEB）提供了一个独特的机会，研究自然盐碱化过程在多个尺度上，在系统中有水文和生物的相似性与旱地河流在墨累达令盆地（MDB）和其他地方。LEB的河流保持高质量的生态健康，尽管盐度水平可以随着流动条件的变化而变化超过两个数量级。 该项目将研究LEB未受管制河流的盐度过程，并使用新型示踪剂和水文测量和建模相结合的方法来确定河流盐度的动态。
