How do the Environmental Management Plans for the Gwydir Wetlands and Macquarie Marshes interact with the Water Sharing Plans for the Macquarie and Gwydir rivers?
The Water Sharing Plans establish the rules for sharing water between the environmental needs of a river and other water users. The Water Sharing Plans establish the rules relating to water extraction for different water users such as town supply, rural domestic supply, stock watering industry and irrigation. The Environmental Management Plans further address the environmental needs identified through the Water Sharing Plans by guiding on-ground management actions, environmental watering, and land use decisions to improve the health of the wetlands.
