Erosion and sediment control plans are legislated requirements during construction phases of development. Penalties apply for non-compliance. Cumulative impacts are however difficult to assess. conditions in terms of flow duration curves and land degradation is limited.

In more developed basins, a moderate adaptive management capacity could be achieved through higher levels of investment in addressing other existing pressures on catchment and wetland condition including through dedicated flow regime management in more highly regulated basins predicated on the recognition that a functional albeit modified freshwater wetland provides an ecosystem service dividend.
