The National Eutrophication Management Program (NEMP) and Environment Australia convened a workshop to develop a coherent overview of the sources and transport of diffuse phosphorus in Australian catchments based on the latest knowledge. The Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation (LWRRDC) and the Murray-Darling Basin Commission (MDBC) jointly fund NEMP. A select group of scientists attended the workshop and developed a coherent statement about phosphorus sources and transport in Australian catchments. The group did not extend this statement to include recommended management practices. This paper reports the findings from the workshop.

This study indicates the relative significance of issues associated with landscape health and biodiversity status for each subregion of Australia's bioregions. It shows the geographic distribution of these issues, and their relative magnitude, and provides a broad indication of the scale of the challenges Australia faces in maintaining or restoring landscape health.

This is a report on research and development needs for stream restoration in Australia. The report was prepared by the Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology (CRCCH) and attempts to provide information required for the development of a national stream restoration program by the Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation (LWRRDC), Canberra. Stream restoration (as defined below) is the manipulation of the physical and hydrological character of a stream with the intention of returning some, or all, of the streams original physical and ecological values. Since it is usually impossible, in all but the rarest cases, to restore the original condition of an Australian stream, we use the term 'stream rehabilitation' throughout the document.

Thinking Bush is a quarterly publication coming out of the Native Vegetation and Biodiversity R&D Program. This edition focuses on weeds. In this issue: Biocontrol; Detection and spread

In a suite of 27 national weeds research projects funded as part of the Defeating the Weed Menace Program. Land and Water Australia funded seven projects under the theme of Biocontrol agents for national priority weeds. This publication is one of a suite of 13 produced as part of a folder showcasing research from the Defeating the Weed Menace Research and Development program.

The Anmatyerr water project worked from 2004-2008 as a collaborative team of Anmatyerr researchers, supervisors and participants and social and environmental scientists from universities and government. A number of projects were undertaken within this research initiative focussing on cultural water provisions in water allocation plans, equitable governance of water resources, culturally based livelihoods, training pathways, Indigenous water rights, and gender and water management (refs). Overall aims included: traineeships to record, store and convey knowledge in appropriate formats (with full prior informed consent) and which demonstrates to the wider community the depth of understanding and connections to water at the heart of Indigenous culture; Working closely with government to find ways for values and rights to be provided for in water plans and recognised and incorporated into government structures and processes that may include legislative reform, long-term employment and other livelihood opportunities; and determining Indigenous rights through examining international and domestic law and management processes and precedents set down through negotiated agreements to assist in finding mechanisms to achieve better outcomes.
