Evaluation Questions Basin scale evaluation questions: Long-term (five year) questions: What did Commonwealth environmental water contribute to waterbird populations? (one year) and long-term (five year) questions: What did Commonwealth environmental water contribute to waterbird breeding? What did Commonwealth environmental contribute to waterbird chick fledging? What did Commonwealth environmental water contribute to waterbird survival? Selected Area evaluation questions: What did Commonwealth environmental water contribute to waterbird breeding? What did Commonwealth environmental water contribute to waterbird chick fledging and waterbird survival? Flow type: Overbank Predictions: increases in non-colonial waterbird breeding activity (total number of breeding species and total number of broods) following Commonwealth environmental watering Initiation of nesting activity in ibis, egret, heron and cormorant colonies as a result of watering actions targeting known colony sites Maintenance of stable water levels in colony sites using Commonwealth environmental water to support successful fledging of waterbird chicks
