Overview

The aerial waterbird survey (AWS) analysis that underpinned the Basin Plan Evaluation 2020 drew predominately on annual aerial survey data across 38 key wetlands across the Murray-Darling Basin, since 2014. These surveys are run conjunction with the Eastern Australian Waterbird Survey (EAWS) since 1983.

The sourcing of this data was done predominately through a third-party external provider through contract agreements.

Recently, Geoscience Australia has been developing a Wetland Insight Tool (WIT) to allow users to observe the spatiotemporal behaviour of wetlands in Australia. The outcomes generated by this tool provide an insight into wetland habitat.
