Water For Nature is an initiative of Nature Foundation. Established in 2008 during the Millennium Drought, Water For Nature has been helping to redress the loss and stress to the ecosystems and habitats of the River Murray caused by river regulation and drought. Our mission is to work with South Australian communities to source water and deliver community-driven projects that benefit wetlands and floodplains. Wetlands need regular watering to remain healthy in today's regulated river system. Healthy wetland environments are important for environmental, economic, cultural and social reasons, providing an optimal environment for flora and fauna, improved water quality for human consumption, agricultural use and opportunities for recreation and tourism. The programme recognises that the river red gum and black box woodlands, lignum swamps and samphire floodplains provide habitats for many species of threatened and vulnerable birds, fish, frogs and invertebrates and that intervention is needed urgently.
