	Echuca, Victoria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is situated at a point where the Murray River is at its closest point to Melbourne, which contributed to its development as a river port during the 1800s.
		Echuca is situated close to the junction of the Goulburn, Campaspe and Murray Rivers.
		The expansion of the railways from Melbourne to most parts of Victoria, as well as improving roads and fickle river conditions, all combined to lessen Echuca's importance, and by the 1890s her paddlesteamer fleet was in decline.

		The Campaspe River is a significant resource that provides a range of values for the region.
		Rivers in the north central region perform a difficult balancing act; they provide water for our human needs while also playing a vital role in maintaining the water cycle and natural ecosystem.
		Many animals rely on in-stream and river bank environments within the Campaspe basin and are dependent on river flows to provide ‘cues’ or triggers for key life cycle events such as migration or breeding.

		The Campaspe River runs along the western and southern edges of town and following much of its route is the Campaspe River Walk which passes alongside several attractions including weirs, the ruins of a number of fords and a swimming pool.

	Stone Welcomes Campaspe River Study Media Release 31 March 1999
		A federally funded study into the environmental flow regime of the Campaspe River in Northern Victoria aims to help to improve water quality, reduce salinity and siltation, and restore native fish stocks, Sharman Stone MP, Federal Member for Murray and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Environment and Heritage, said today.
		The Cooperative Research Centre for Freshwater Ecology (CRC) is undertaking a three year study to monitor the environmental effects of a trial winter flow of water specifically released in the months between May and October.
		Over the past few years, the Campaspe River's natural summer flow has been tripled, while winter flows have been halved.

		A group of scientists and river workers have refuted recent media comments attacking the scientific credibility of management initiatives in the Murray-Darling Basin, particularly the results of fish surveys.
		Research results from studies including a survey of NSW rivers, analyses of commercial fisheries data, a study of the Campaspe River and pilot studies in the Sustainable Rivers Audit all supported the conclusions and justified concerns for this iconic species of Australian rivers.
		In the Campaspe River, only three of the 15 to 18 species predicted to have once lived and bred in the river now have selfsustaining populations.

	Eppalock
		Located 26 km east of the City of Greater Bendigo, Lake Eppalock was constructed between 1960 and 1964 to provide irrigation supplies from the Campaspe River, and town water supply to Bendigo.
		Three spillways cater for the overflow: a concreted main spillway, which runs down to the Campaspe River, and two higher grassed spillways for exceptionally large floods.
		Water released into the Campaspe River flows downstream to irrigators as far north as Rochester, 65 km away.

	North Central Catchment Management Authority (NCCMA) - News
		The aim of releasing environmental water is to maintain an acceptable level of water quality under low flow conditions within the Campaspe River, ensuring the long-term survival of its plants and animals and ultimately the sustainability of the river for all users.
		The highest priority for this environmental water’s use during the current drought conditions is to protect the environmental values of the river during the summer months.”
		“The Campaspe Bulk Entitlement was amended in 2005 to enable storage of environmental water during spring for release in summer.

		Significant levels of organochlorine pesticides have in the past been detected downstream from tobacco farming areas along the Ovens River, and while the use of DDT and dieldrin is now banned it is possible that recovery of biological communities is incomplete.
		Increases in phosphorous are often related to increases in turbidity as the increased number of particles in the water are carrying the phosphorous, however, this was not the case in the Broken River where total phosphorous levels showed a small decline despite the large increase in turbidity.

		The gorge starts about eight river kilometres downsteam from Turpins Falls and continues for another four kilometres to the junction with Pipers Creek.
		The slope of the river bed is less than that of the surface, and south of Pipers Creek the river is back on the lava plain.

	Keeping our rivers healthy :: ABC Central Victoria
		The Campaspe river system has changed a lot over the past 150 years, but with the help of an environmental flow study conducted by the North Central Catchment Management Authority, the health of the Campaspe river system could improve.
		The current study will draw on previous research into the Campaspe river system as well as investigate the most appropriate way to use the water currently allocated for environmental flows.
		Community members and landholders are invited to find out more about environmental flows and their local river systems at a field day on Tuesday 15 November at the Campaspe River at Englishes Bridge in the Goornong area or Wednesday 16 November at the Coliban River at Lyall's Road in Redesdale.

		Irrigation areas cover much of the lower Loddon and Campaspe riverine plains, and horticultural land uses and dairying are the main enterprises.
		Major land and water management issues in the region include water quality and river health, fragmentation and destruction of wildlife habitat, floodplain management, salinity, catchment condition monitoring, land use and restrictions, and land degradation (including water and wind erosion).
		This water is critical to maintain environmental flows in the Murray River and critical for agricultural enterprises along the whole Murray corridor.
