Belsar-Yungera

The Belsar-Yungera Floodplain Management Project will help to protect and restore the key indigenous species and habitat of Belsar-Yungera by providing the water required for their growth and health and will include watering of Lake Powell and Lake Carpul. The project also intends to restore and enhance the habitat links between the river and Narcooyia Creek to aid movement of Murray Cod and other fish, and improve wetland and riverside habitats that support species including the growling grass frog, lignum shrubland, carpet python, bats and waterbirds.
