Wetland Revival
The Narran River lies within the Murray-Darling Basin - Narran Lakes has had it's biggest inflow since 2013 although still not big enough for bird breeding colonies. Colonial nesting waterbirds require substantial floods to support large breeding events in floodplain wetlands. The interval between such big breeding events at Narran has almost tripled since 1970 from one every 4.2 years to one in 11.4 years.
