Water flow is the lifeblood of estuarine wetlands and has a major impact on ecological habitat. Despite this, little is known about the link between the threatened migratory birdlife, benthic invertebrates, wetland vegetation and the aqueous environment that supports them. This study will determine the interrelationships between key characteristics of migratory wader habitat and the hydraulic environment. The study will be conducted in the internationally significant Hunter estuary. The project will result in ecological management strategies based on hydraulic control for estuarine wetlands. These are essential for the design of culverts and roads and other development throughout coastal Australia.

水流是河口湿地的命脉，对生态栖息地有重大影响。尽管如此，关于受威胁的候鸟、底栖无脊椎动物、湿地植被和支撑它们的水环境之间的联系，人们知之甚少。这项研究将确定迁徙涉禽栖息地的关键特征与水环境之间的相互关系。这项研究将在具有国际意义的亨特河口进行。该项目将导致河口湿地基于水力控制的生态管理战略。这些对于涵洞和道路的设计以及整个澳大利亚沿海地区的其他开发都是必不可少的。
