Cunnamulla Weir: A water-control structure on the Warrego River near Cunnamulla. It helps regulate water supplies for the town and surrounding district.
Environmental flows: Water flows managed or protected to sustain freshwater ecosystems and their functions. Flow timing and volume influence habitats along the Warrego and downstream Darling.
Warrego River catchment: The drainage area whose runoff flows into the Warrego River. Rainfall across this basin feeds the river’s highly variable flow.
New South Wales: A state in southeastern Australia. The river continues into New South Wales before joining the Darling.
Warrego River Water Resource Plan: A Queensland plan governing water allocation and management in the Warrego basin. It sets rules for sharing and protecting water in the river system.
Wetland: An ecosystem where water covers or saturates the soil for part or all of the year. Flooding connects Warrego channels with wetlands that support aquatic life.
