Environmental Water Delivery
Wetland Watering
CICL has been working with the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) to use our water channel infrastructure to deliver environmental water to natural wetlands in the Coleambally area since 2015, including a number of native wetlands on properties in our area which no longer receive an adequate supply of water.
By using our channel infrastructure, environmental water can be delivered to sites which otherwise would only ever be inundated in extremely wet years. Many of these sites are on private land, and the areas watered are voluntarily managed by the owners for wildlife conservation.
CICL is currently partnering with DPIE through their Saving Our Species program to conserve the Southern Bell Frog population in the wild.
Field Guides to the Native Plants and Birds of the Coleambally Irrigation District
In 2005 and 2006 CICL commissioned two field guides for native plants and birds of the Coleambally Irrigation District. The field guides were compiled by David Kleinert and Mark Robb and funded by the Land and Water Management Plan.
Hardcopy books can be purchased at the CICL office for $25 (including GST). Free digital copies of the field guides can also be found below.
