This study was commissioned to provide an independent assessment of: the current state of Fly River geomorphology and sedimentation processes; the likely impact of a further 10 years of mining; expected changes in river system behaviour after mining ceases; and possible interventions to reduce mining impact and to accelerate the rate of recovery of the river system.
