Yes, inundation depends on the extent of natural flow events. Commonwealth environmental water contributed to a small fresh flow to: re-establish hydrological connectivity and flows to the maintain refuges (waterholes) in the main river channel and distributary channels promote the dispersal of aquatic biota and fish reproduction.
