We rely on water and a healthy catchment to sustain businesses, people, and biodiversity. One of the biggest causes of deteriorating catchment health is the absence of critical low flows.

This is why the State Government, Council and private landholders are actively re-establishing critical portions of our natural water flow patterns in Alexandrina’s catchments. The focus of the partnership is to deliver low flows at critical times for the benefit for our environment, business, and people.

Alexandrina Council and private landholders have installed several release and gravity devices along the Finniss, Angus Rivers, and the Rodwell Creek.

The Flows for the Future Team works with Council to release low flows at critical times into the Rodwell Creek, supplying much needed water to the watercourse.

Conservation Partners and volunteers assist Council to maintain these riparian vegetation and remnant bushland as these provide critical habitat for biodiversity.

Through collaboration, Council fulfils Alexandrina’s targets of responsible land management; protecting our ecosystems and biodiversity; engaging with the community; and addressing climate change.
