How low flows can be secured

What are the low flow device options?

Installing a device allows low flows (at or below the calculated threshold flow rate) to pass dams and watercourse diversions while medium and high-flows continue to fill the dam or be extracted from watercourse diversions as per usual;

Gravity low flow devices passively pass flows and require only basic maintenance to remain operational. They remain the preferred program option to return low flows, due to their long-term functionality and the natural timing of flows. The design has continued to change to utilise more readily available materials and with on-site learnings.
